Bulk Public Folder Permission Changes BUT to selected Folders
Hello, I'm trying to manage the Exchange 2003 public folder ____ I'm left with.
We have about 400 public folders and I need to change the permissions on only a select number of them. I cannot change the
permissions at the root and have them propagate to all folders. I just need to change permissions on about 100 of the 400.
Is there some way to select 100 non-contiguous folders, set the permissions that I want to apply equally to all 100 folders, and then
hit apply to make the change in one process?
Doing this one folder at a time is just not practical.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim

I've actually looked at that but I can not find a way to select non-contiguous folders to perform an action upon.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Dinesh’s link is quite close to the solution. You can use the “Custom Bulk Operation” in the tool
First, you need a value that’s shared among all the public folders you want to add the permissions. “DS:publicDelegates” property
can be the one
You can use ADModify tool to set the property on all folders in once
a.
Launch the tool
b.
Select all the folders you want with Ctrl button, and press “Next”
c.
In the “Custom” tab, set “publicDelegates” attribute to a user
Notes: The user would just be a temp user for this task, the value is the Distinguished Name of the user
Then, you can refer Mike Shen’s method in
this thread to add the permission
The filter will be: (DS:publicDelegates=User’s DistinguishedName)James Luo
