PFDAVAdmin Exchange 2007: 401 errors
Hi All,
Back in the Exchange 2003 days I used to use the PFDAVAdmin tool to assign everyone in our organisation reviewer permissions to each other’s calendar. When I try to use the latest version of the tool (v2.8) to carry out the same task in Exchange 2007 I get the following error:
Could not connect to http://servername***************: The remote server returned an error: 401 (Unauthorized)
I’ve created a domain admin account and have assigned full access rights to my mailbox for this account by running the below command but when I run PFDAVAdmin with the account credentials specified in the shell command and attempt to browse my mailbox I still get the 401 error.
Get-Mailbox “MyUsername” | Add-MailboxPermission -User “UserAccount”-AccessRights
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Andrew

gstoneEX,
The documenst are useful but I still get the issue with the 401 error. I must have to assign the account that I'm usign certain permissions to all mailboxes but am not sure what permissions are required.
Thanks

Thanks Rajith, that explains the process nicely but I still get the 401 error when I try to browse into a mailbox.

Try give the PFDAVAdmin account a mailbox or use an account that has a mailbox itself.

How are you specifying the server in PFDAVAdmin (server name or IP address)? If by name try IP. What are the results?
ASKER
I've tried both server name & IP address, get the sam reaults with both.
Gotta love the perplexing issues!
