Exchange 2013 public folder permissions, EAC stuck on apply changes to this public folder and all its subfolders

I am trying to change permissions on a Public Folder in Exchange 2013.

I am adding another user and if I check the box to "Apply changes to this public folder and its subfolders" it takes a very long time to complete. I have one at the moment that has been running for over a day. I am reluctant to stop the process. I did one last week that took over 2 days. The green progress bar seems to stop at about 75%.

When it is stuck (seemingly) can I get information on the progress from the shell?

Do you think this is a problem with the EAC and I should do it from the shell? I am using 2013 CU5

Hi,

Please follow following blog to change the PF permission.

According to your description, I notice that managing PF permission via EAC stuck at 75%.

Is there a huge amount of public folders to be grant permission? If yes, please select one for test.

If you suspect the issue related to EAC, you can also use EMS for test.

Also try to install CU6. Any related warning/error message will be helpful for the further troubleshooting.

Thanks

Hi, It seems to be EAC. I added another user to the same folder and subfolders using the shell and it took 1 minute.

I will apply CU6 and test again.

I have exactly the same problem with CU 7. Permissions seem to be applied anyway.

If I recycle the ECPAppPool hours later to stop the cpu intensive (w3wp.exe) hang condition, I get this stack in event log:

System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
