Exchange 2007 - Apply user permissions to all Public Folder contents

Hello,
I am needing to apply full permission (Owner?) to 2 of my users to the entire Public Folder contents. I have tried applying the permissions through Outlook but it does not seem that the permissions are propagated down through the subfolders and files. Since there is no real GUI yet for PF administration is there a command I can enter in the EMS to achieve this?
Thanks!
Alan

Gui is not added back until Sp1, you need to use EMS or the pfdave admin tool mentioned above

There is a supplied PowerShell script AddUsersToPFRecursive.ps1 for this. I've not used it, but it is described here:

I wasnt able to get the PFDavadmin tool to connect correct to the Public Folders (something about https).
I found a couple commands that supposedly gave a user full rights to all Public Folders but they did not help. Here is an example of one:

Add-PublicFolderAdministrativePermission \ -user "My User" -AccessRights AllExtendedRights

Any other thoughts?

I used the PFdavAdmin and it worked great.
