I've created a number of Public Folder but the Administrator access on these folder is set as "Author". I can't do anything. How do I fix it? thanks

Find who the owner is and get them to change the permissions, or use the Management Console to set the permissions. There is also a script that you can use to grant the permissions throughout the tree. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998834(EXCHG.80).aspx Personally, I grant Owner permissions to a group (Public Folder Admins for example) so that I can delegate it out. The group will need to be type security and mail enabled. Simon.Simon Butler, Exchange MVP. http://blog.sembee.co.uk , http://exbpa.com/

Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "\NS" -AccessRights PublishingEditor -User kim the above command works but when type Owner isntead publishingEditor it fails. how while Kim is the member of DC Admin and Exchange Admin..Imean administrative access. Does it take time for the permission on Public Folder to take in place?

What failure message do you get? Is "kim" a mailbox-enabled account?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hey Ed , this is my account and I've all admin roles to it.

Please make sure that you specified the correct PublicFolderEntry Identity and that you have the necessary permissions to view PublicFolderEntry.

Hi vministrator, Per you information, the identity for the public folder is not exist, I would suggest that you could use get-publicfolder to confirm the identity of the specific publicfolder you want to operate. Regards! Gavin

Hi, You can assign the permission by login outlook throught administrator credential and assign the permission to the public folder Sachin Hodge MCP--Exchange 2003,MSTS--Exchange 2007
