Exchange 2007 SP3 Outlook 2007 SP2 I work closely with Exchange Team to determine and implement requests from end users. I recommended implementing Public Folders to one of the departments (60 users). A Project Manager sent a request to a company (external), which support us and implemented Exchange into our organization. It is already 4 months since the request was sent. A company responded to us; saying they are still planning! My question is; how long can plan and implementing Public Folders take, knowing already structure and requirements? Thank you in advance.

Hi, We need to consider the permission on public folder,including client permission and administrator permission, I think that would be the most tough thing. If you have structure and requirement, and permission of the public folder, then administrator can start to create public folder from Exchange and then grant proper permission. It is hard to say how long it will take, it up to how many public folders, how complex the permssion would be. Xiu

Hello Xiu, The core structure is simple: 1) Root folder - set permission (Owner) to six people. 2) The Public Folder will be available for one department only. 3) All subfolders will be managed by these six people. 4) The idea is to start from the Root, train people how to add/manage permission under the root. I have owned this idea. I was testing it as well. It took me about 3 days in total. But the final step is upon the Exchange Team. So, Xiu do you really think, it is such hard to configure and implement such simple Public folder structure? Note; I am looking an opinion!

I Don't see any issue implementing this in production. The only thing you need to keep in mind that after assigning the permission to those 6 people on the root folder make sure that you propagate the permission to the sub folders. You can use PFDAVEAdmin Tool to do it. 2) The Public Folder will be available for one department only. Are you talking about any specific folder here?

Hi Gulab, I should more specific with the Root folder in the first place. Saying Root, I did mean "Division name folder" not Public folder. So, under the Public Folder I am willing to create a new Folder assign permissions to these six people only. When such folder is created, we are going to create require sub-folders and assign permissions. Thanks, BartBart Kurowski IT Desktop Support Analyst, MCP, MCTS, MCITP, MCAS
