Open the public folder calendar in Outlook. Click View > Change View > List so you get a tabular list of everything. Select all the calendar entries and drag them to the mailbox's calendar. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

In Outlook 2010 (steps would be similar but different in Outlook 2003): Click the calendar folder of interest. Click View > Change View > List (or Active if you don't want to copy out-of-date items) You should see a tabular list of everything in the calendar which is a lot easier to copy and paste.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Many thanks :) i got it this time. i have another issue hoping if you would help me with! I have a query about a "mailbox" account. In my inbox i have a mailbox called "Client Services" I want everyone to be able to VIEW the emails. HOWEVER, I only want a few people to be able to respond, move, delete or flag the Client Services emails. The people who can have full access to move, flag, etc., are: User1 User2 User3. Can you please me so that i can block all other people from anything other than view. Please advise if possible to do something about it. Thanks Reshmi

You can't have a mailbox in your Inbox. You can have a folder in your Inbox. Is that what you have? Or do you have a folder in your mailbox? Everything you need to do this is in your control by setting permissions on the folders. Using outlook, right-click the folder, select Properties, Permissions tab. Grant User1, User2 and User3 the "Publishing Editor" Permission Level, and give Default the "Reviewer" Permission Level. One thing about nested folders is that you have to give users read permissions on the parent folder or else they won't be able to see the child folder. I bring that up in case you have this "Client Services" under "Inbox". You probably want to move "Client Services" to the root, i.e., under "Outlook Today".Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Thanks for your response. i have a folder "Client Service Email" in the "inbox". I have a mailbox "Client Service Email" in Exchange 2007 and "Manage full access permission" are set for few users and i included my self as well. Now i have add "Client Services Email" folder to my inbox. Using outlook, right-click the folder, selected Properties, Permissions tab. Default has a "Reviewer" permission level and Client Services group has "Reviewer" permission as well. inorder to give "Publishing Editior" permission lever to User1 and User2... should i remove "Client Service group" and add each user with the reviewer permission and except for "User1 +2+3" to have "publishing editior" permission.? Please help me on the last paragraph here: 1.)(One thing about nested folders is that you have to give users read permissions on the parent folder or else they won't be able to see the child folder. I dont quiet understand about the parent folder which folder are you referring too?) 2.) (I bring that up in case you have this "Client Services" under "Inbox". You probably want to move "Client Services" to the root, i.e., under "Outlook Today".) How would i be able to move this to the root folder? Do i have to move this to root folder? Thanks ED for your assistance look forward to hear form you. Regards Reshmi

"Reviewer" is a Permission level. There can be only one. So just change it to "Publishing Editor", which has all the rights of "Reviewer" and the additional rights to do the things you want it to do. When you change it, look at all the checkboxes that get set for an understanding of what individual permissions that permission level (formerly known as a "Role", which I think is a better name) grants. 1. Move "Client Service Email" from under the Inbox to under Outlook Today (the mailbox root). 2. Drag and drop it in Outlook. Doing that means that users don't need any rights to your Inbox in order to see "Client Service Email", therefore making your permission setting easier. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Dear Ed, Thank you for your assistance i will test in testing environment moving "client services" to under "outlook today" and giving approprate permissions to the user. I have another query in regards to outlook. i wonder if you will be able to help me.

If you do have specialist with sysaid calendar with outlook calendar, will you be able to help? Many thanks for your assistance. Regards Reshmi

If your databases are configured as the default, there's 14 days' worth of deleted items and 30 days' worth of deleted mailboxes. Have you accounted for that?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Dear ED, Do you mean "Database Management" ? or where do i check it from. cheers, Reshmi

Those are properties of the mailbox databases.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Dear Ed, Thanks for your response. i have checked the "Mailbox databases" and by default, there's 14 days' worth of deleted items and 30 days' worth of deleted mailboxes. Do you think thats taking lot of storage space? is there anything else i need to consider as well? Cheers Reshmi

It could, but I don't know for sure in your case.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Rich Matheisen, Thank you for replying. Iam not very good at the powershell cmd can you please assist me with the cmd incase iam typing something wrong> I have type the cmd in power shell $servers = Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.IsMailboxserver -eq $true} this bit works but from here the cmd did work. foreach ($server in $servers) { Get-Mailboxstatistics -Server $server | where {$_.DisconnectDate -ne $null} | Format-Table DisplayName,TotalItemSize,Database -auto -wrap }

Hi Rich Matheisen, The Power shell cmd works thanks alot. I wonder if you could assist me with "Deleted Items age to automatic purge”. Iam using outlook 2003/ 2010 i know by enabling "Deleted Items Folder" will deleted all emails in the deleted folder but you can not set this options in the exchange server? If there is a way can you please let me know? I had gone through the tech net site and had a look through at the "Exchange Management Console to create new managed content settings " Iam not to sure if thats the only way to go about it. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me. thank you.

Hi Rich M Urgent requirment if you could please help. Can you please assist with the remote wipe on mobiles? I know doing the remopte wipe it will wipe the emails but i want to know does it also wipe the contacts details as well? Is there any way we could wipe the contacts as well? and can i retrieve the contacts later from the exchange sever? Cheers, Reshmi

It's supposed to wipe everything back to the factory settings.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Iam coming back on the Public Folders. Now I have got all sorted. i mean i have copied all appoinments and recurring meetings to the new "resource rooms" which i created. and gave "Author" permission to the users to add the "resource rooms" to their calendars. Since some of the users are still using the Public Folders. i need to do something to make them stop using the public folders. Do you know a way if i can make them stop without deleting the public folders? Can you please let me know bit urgent for me. Thank you.

Hi Ed When i did the remote wipe it just deletes the emails and doesnt wipe everything as it suppose too. is there anything that i need to enable? Cheers

Remove their rights to the public folders.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed, i have checked the properties and the users have "Reviewer" permission. i dont think by removing this permission would help coz when any one has the "reviewer" permission they can flag emails its by default. i need something that will stop the from flagging emails it would be the group policy or by cmd or creating the rule & Alert. Which i really dont know and iam getting frastrated:( Please see if you know any third party software or any where that i can get the information from? Really need your assistance. Thank you. Cheers, Reshmi

Hi ED, i have this below cmd that removes permission for only one user, can i remove the permission for all users at once.. will you have the cmd? Remove-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "Sales\West Coast\Oregon" -User David -AccessRights CreateItems cheers

Hi Ed, Not to worry i have got the commands to remove the permission, here is the cmd for anyone who might need. 1.) Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "\Resource room1" |fl 2.) remove-PubliFolderClientPermission -Identity "\Resource room1" -User "Default" -AccessRights Author Cheers, Reshmi

If it's a few folders, just do it with Outlook. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

The problem with that is that it will only remove the Default permission, but if people have explicit rights or right through a group, that won't be removed. In Outlook, just look at the properties of the folder, there's a tab for permissions. You have to be an owner, though.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed, I have 12 public folders in exchanges 2007 and i have 175 staff :( not sure how will i be able to do in the outlook... I need to remove the permissions from the public folders so that the users cannot access the public folders.
