Calendar Reviewer permission configured in PFDAVAdmin not working for all users
I am using Exchange 2007 SP2. The Outlook 2007 is showing there is no permission to view the calendar of SOME OTHER users. I have configured PFDAVAdmin reviewer permission for a particular group of users. Only some group members are having this problem in viewing other user's calendar. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Sereno

Hi, Have you followed these steps as these are in my practice and works fine. Set Calendar Permissions with the Set Calendar Permission option Open PFDAVADMIN Click File , and then click Connect Click Tools , and then click Set Calendar Permissions . In the new window, click Add , and then select Everyone . Click OK to confirm. Back in the Permissions window, click \Everyone , and select the appropriate permissions that you want to add. Click OK to begin setting permissions. No warning screen will appear, permissions will be set immediately. When the Percentage complete box has reached 100, you can safely close the window. All permissions are set on everyone’s calendar. Set Calendar Permissions with the Custom Bulk Operation option Open PFDAVADMIN Click File , and then click Connect Click Tools , and then click Custom Bulk Operation . Leave the Base on Mailboxes In the Overall Filter , fill in the folder names on which you want to set permissions. For example, if you want the Swedish calendar (Kalendar) and the Dutch calendar (Agenda) to be included, you could use the following filter: (|(0x3001001E=Kalendar)(0x3001001E=Agenda)(0x3001001E=FreeBusy Data)) Click Add to add a new operation. A new window will appear. Verify that Folder Permission is selected and click OK . Another window will appear. Verify that Action is set to Merge . Then click Select to configure permissions you want to set on everyone’s calendar. In this example, the Everyone Group is selected and will be assigned Read Permissions. At the bottom of the window, a filter can be specified. Using the example above, the filter would be (|(0x3001001E=Kalendar)(0x3001001E=Agenda)) Click OK . You will now return to the main Custom Bulk Operation window. From this window, you will have to specify the second operation. This second operation runs against the FreeBusy data folders. Click Add to add a new operation. A new window will appear. Verify that Folder Permission is selected and click OK . Another window will appear. Verify that Action is set to Merge . Then click Select to configure permissions you want to set on everyone’s calendar. If you granted permissions greater than Reviewer in the previous steps, you should choose Editor rights here. In this example, the Everyone Group has been granted Reviewer permissions, so in this case you should add Reviewer rights. At the bottom of the window, specify the filter. The filter for the FreeBusy Data folder is (&(0x3001001E=FreeBusy Data)) Click OK . Now you’re back in the main window with two operations listed at the bottom. The operation on the folder “Calendar” can have any permission (in this example, the permission is Reviewer). The operation on the FreeBusy Data folder can only have Reviewer or Editor as permission (in this example, the permission is Reviewer). Click OK . The Custom Bulk Operation will start without Warning and will set the permissions on the calendar folder. I hope this will help you. Regards.

Hi, Are the problematic users and the normal users in the same group? Is there any difference between them? At this stage, I suggest you refer to the following article and add the problematic user to set the proper permission again. PFDavAdmin tool Thanks.Novak Wu-MSFT

For those who can't see calendars, try also giving them Editor permissions to the Freebusy Data folder in the same mailbox. -Peter

I got the solution. I gave permission to FreeBusy Data Folder also in PFDAVAdmin console. And nw all users are able to have reviewer permissions. I tried for a single user first.But I found that normally when you give permissions to all mailbox using Set Calendar permission in Tools Tab of PFDAVAdmin, both the FreeBusy data folder(Inside user mailbox) and Calendar folder (inside Mailbox of User-->Top of Information Store) shud get permissions. But in my case, the permissions was only applying to Calendar folder. So I reapplied permissions again by using Tools --> Set Calendar Permissions in PFDAVAdmin. And now everything is working fine.
