Hi,
This is something I have been unable to work out and it's driving me insane.
We have public folders dedicated to several departments but we (IT Infrastructure team) "own" all of them, a rather typical setup.
My account is a member of the security group set as owner on all folders as well as Domain Admins group.
Randomly, my permissions to public folders simply seem to disappear. I only seem to be able to access 2 or 3 folders set up for evertone to access.
So I rebuild my local profile and everything works fine, I have acccess to our (IT's) folders for a few days and then suddenly I'm back to square one - no access. Checked on another machine - all is fine so I'm guessing the issue is local only. This conclusion prompted me to rebuild my machine from scratch and the same thing happened - after a few days of happy camping my permissions reverted back to basic, bare Domain User access again. I even set my account explicitly as owner of all public folders and here's the funny thing - when I check security properties of the root public folder (of which all the other folders are subfolders), I see my account name as folder owner but the security page is greyed out and my permissions are "None".
So it looks like permissions are fine on exchange side but somehow my machine can't seem to pick it up? In every other respect my permissions are ok, I'm a Local Admin through AD security group and this replicates fine, all other permissions seem ok, it's just the public folders that this is happening to.
If you need any firther details please let me know and I'll try to expand on the symptoms.
Many thanks!
