For Public folders in ESM I am finding that permissions aren't inherited, as they are by default in NTFS. Is there a way to enable permission changes (adding users/groups & their explicit rights) to a parent folder so that these permissions are also inherited by child folder objects? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. Use the "AddUsersToPFRecursive.ps1" script in the "Scripts" directory. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks guys. Not quite what I was expecting, actually what I found was that permissions for Public Folders can be set for Inheitance, but it's contigent on how the user(s) are added in ESM. I found that when adding a user to the Public Mailbox, one option is that you can Right-Click & specify All Tasks > Manage Settings > Modify Client Permissions. At this point adding the users prompts that all entries will inherit after they're added. - cschaar

If you'd have mentioned which version of Exchange you were running I would have told you to do that instead of pointing you to an Exchange 2007/2010 way to do it! --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
