I am getting and error message of

The term 'Add-PublicFilderPermission' is not recongnised
ilantz

it's add-PUBLICFOLDERPERMISSION  < check your syntax..
you can always use the TAB for auto-complete, just write :

add-pub <then hit TAB it will auto-complete all possibility's.

Sorry it was a typo when typing in message here

If I type add-pub and then press the tab key the only options that I get are the following

add-publicfolderclientpermission
add-publicfolderadministrativepermission

No other options

Sorted with the following command

Add-ExchangeAdministrator -Identity "User1" -Role "PublicFolderAdmin"

This gives the assigned user in this example User1 The right to create subfolders in the top level public folder
