Public Folder Permissions on Exchange 2007
We have Exchange 2007 Server with outlook 2007 clients.
On outlook under folder list, there is public folders and i would like to know how to change the permissions / ownership. There are a some Calendars and contact lists inside public folders, i have access to most of them but dont have access to public folders itself to create a new calendar / contact.
is the permission set up on exchange server? or outlook itself?

Unfortunately the post above is about a BETA of Exchange 2007 SP1, which hasn't been released yet. It is due shortly, hopefully within the next couple of weeks - although nothing has been confirmed yet.
Until the service pack is released you will have to set the permission using Powershell or PowerGui (http://www.powergui.org).
Or if you know who is an owner, get them to change the permission.

I hope this helps someone out there:
I had created a public folder for a company let's call it Test and a subfolder inside that folder, let's call it Test1
so \Test\Test1
if I wanted to add user samantha to the owner group I did this:
AddUsersToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder \Test -User Samantha -Permission Owner
I pulled the username from the appropriate OU in AD and that should do it!
I hope it helps.

Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your comment. What if it is a worded folder name e.g work in Progress, how do you type that command in PowerShell
