Hi I am running ms exchange server 2007 in SBS server 2008. I would like ot give a user higher level of permissions on a public folder mailbox so that they can delete messages. Currently they are getting an error message saying that they do not have permission. I have tried adding the user to the public folder admins group but this has not helped. This was quite easy on exchange server 2003 with the user interface but this is missing from exchange 2007. How do i do this in exchange 2007.

Hello, you can do this via the EMS. 1.) List your public folders via Get-PublicFolder -Recurse and look for the right folders 2.) List only the folders for which you want to change permissions (it will look like Get-PublicFolder \folder\subfolder) 3.) Pipe the output to Add-PublicFolderClientPermission (Get-PublicFolder \folder\subfolder | Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User USERNAME -AccessRights DeleteAllItems) Be aware that with the right "DeleteAllItems" your user can delete ANY item in this public folder. You have to be at least PF-Admin and local admin to execute the Cmdlets. Greetings, Toni

Hi, It seems SBS2008 Exchange 2007 is different from Exchange 2007 . Exchange 2007 doesn’t has Public folder admins group. For this question, the “SBS Forum” which would be the most relevant forum for your question. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbusinessserver/threads

Hello, sorry, that was my mistake. Here's the correct command: Use the same command as you've executed before, but only with the difference in the parameter "AccessRights". Set it to "Editor" (... -AccessRights Editor). With the rigths of an Editor your user will be able to see the PF again and to create and to delete all items. If you want him to create subfolders as well you have to grant the rights of a "Publishing Editor" (the value for "Accessrights" would be "PublishingEditor"). Greetings, Toni

Hello , Well yes I tried the commands that Da Doni told me to run and it looked like it worked but now the client cannot see the public folder at all in outlook. Is there are command that I can use to give the client the ability to see the public folder again.
