Adding permissions to public folders exchange 2007
What is the best way to add permissions to a public folder in exchange 2007 or the easiest way?
I need to add rights to a folder for everyone to have read access and then a few users to have full access.

If you are only doing one folder and no subfolders then you can do it quite easily through EMC --> Toolbox --> public folder Administration

I thought that also but when I click on the one public folder, I dont see where it lets me asign rights.

I did find these 2 articles before I posted this, but I dont see how to add read access to all users and then assign full access to like 5 users.
Do you have a ")" in the display name of the PF?
Why not put the people in a group, one for read and one for full access and then use the cmdlets to assign the permissions to the group? That way if you have more users to give PF permissions to in the future, then you can add them to the groups.

The display name is marketing calendar
Hmmm, did the account you were running PFDavadmin as have any brackets in the Display name?
ASKER
No

Not sure how to setup via the shell.
Like if I wanted to give full access to a group called FULL, what would I type in at the shell and which add command would I use?

Weird, I have never seen that error with PFDavAdmin before...
Add-PublicFolderClientPerm

by the way, in Exchange 2010 you can set PF permissions in the EMC again, have a look at number 9 from here:

Thanks for the points, did you get PFDavadmin working?
ASKER
No did not...
I was wondering why you selected PFDavadmin as the solution ;-)
ASKER
Actually I did not use it. I just created the new public folder via outlook. So I gave you both points for both giving good info...
Hey Exch 2010 you can use the EMC once again to setup public folders and asign rights....

I mentioned E2k10 and EMC in a couple posts above... ;-)
In E2k10 they have replaced PFDAVadmin with ExFolders.
