RE: Updating permissions on PFs - E2k3
Have you tried using PFDAVADMIN you can download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4-E2422C0AB424displaylang=en -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 20 May 2009 4:50 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Updating permissions on PFs - E2k3 All, We're starting the implementation process for the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver, and need to make the service account we've selected an owner on all PFs. This is a bit tricky, for two reasons: 1) We have well over 2,000 PFs - I think it might be closer to 3,000 - and that's just too much to do by hand. 2) We have three sites, and many of the PFs are not homed on the US box, nor replicated to the US server, though they're visible via the ESM and Outlook. Any suggestions for automating 1), and potentially mitigating 2) and making sure that we only archive local resources? We don't have PowerShell installed on the Exchange server - I'm assuming that it would help with this task, but it's not there currently. If there's a vbscript alternative, that would be handy, but if push comes to shove, I can get PowerShell installed - I believe it requires .NET 3.5, and then we'd want to patch it, correct?

Re: Updating permissions on PFs - E2k3
I have that, but I thought it propagated all permissions in a tree all the way down. I could be wrong on that though. I've got varying permissions on many top-level folders (about 75 of them), and really want to touch each folder individually and add a single owner permission to each. I'll review the docs on the tool, though.

RE: Updating permissions on PFs - E2k3
Have a look at what it can do at = http://www.msexchange.org/articles/PFDavAdmin-tool-Part1.html Specifically - Propagate public folder Access Control Entry (ACE) additions, removals and modifications without overwriting the existing Access Control List (ACL).
