HiI am new to Exchange 2010 and am struggling with Public Folders. When we had 2003, managing it was a breeze. I could set up permissions in ESM and go from there. I am stuck at trying to configure permissions for the PF--I exported all the folders in 2003 and when while I can move the root folders over to 2010 PF, I cannot move any child objects. How/where do i set the permissions to do this? I would like to see it at the root level and have everything replicate down. Is this possible? Also, is there a GUI (even 3rd party)? I am pretty bad at the management shell

Hi, This is the place to look Microsoft link for managing public folder permissions http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310789.aspx Add Permissions for Client Users to access public folders: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998834.aspx Also Look here for Use the EMC to configure public folder properties : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691327.aspx#UseEMC Regards from www.windowsadmin.info

so it there a way i can create a group and assign full permissions to EVERY folder, but do this at the root level? I would like to do this once, rather than per user/per folder.

Through PowerShell you can do something like this: Get-PublicFolder -Identity \ -Recursive | Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User <user_id> -AccessRights Owner -- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".
