Hi all, Windows 2003 /Exchange 2003 SP2 I need to assign one user an owner for every top-level public folder and subfolder. Is there a tool or an easy way to do it? Thank you.

PFDAVAdmin: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4-E2422C0AB424&displaylang=en you will thank me :) Ability to add user and permissions wanted and propagate that permission down to all sub-folders Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Great thanks for the link and info. With that tool,I still need to go to each root folder and propagate the permission to sub-folders. Just wonder, can I propagate the permission from one root folder to all sub-folders and all other ROOT folders? Thank you.

I don't believe so. This is the best tool I know of to manage 2003 PF's and you will have to do each Root folder. Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Note that Exchange 2003 SP2 also has the permission settings wizard for public folders in the ESM gui with similar functionality as pfdavadmin for applying permissions or configuration changes in bulk.

Be sure to check the pre-reqs for pfdavadmin. It requires 1.1 .net framework.
