how can you check on 2003 exchange public folders, the folder owners? who can add sub folders? who can delete folders/emails saved to exisiting folders? do many places use public folders, or are there better alternatives?

The easiest place to check 2003 Public Folder Permissions is Outlook, just select properties in Outlook and check the permissions. >> do many places use public folders, or are there better alternatives? If you are asking in general yes many companies I work for use PF, some functionality is being moved to SharePoint With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

Use PFDAVAdmin and export the permissions to a file. >do many places use public folders, Yes. >or are there better alternatives? Yes.

Yes. But you haven't said what you'll use them for. At present they seem like a reposiory for saved emails from the IT department to the departmental IT reps, along with some emails that have basic forms like a new user form, or a leavers form.

So, in other words, a garbage dump. ;-) Use Sharepoint. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, It is correct. The actions based on the permission. More information: Working with Public Folder and Mailbox Permissions In your scenario, the public folder used to store emails mostly. So I think you could create an additional mailbox, and grant full access permission to IT department. For the forms, you could store them at a shared public folder or store as an email attachment.
