Exchange Public Folder permissions
Hello,
In our company we store project related e-mails in the Exchange 2003 public folders. We have 5 departments within the company, wich all have 1 public folder with lots of subfolders.
The problem is, when I set permissions for a new employee on the root public folder, the subfolders do not inherrit these permissions. So I have to set the permissions manually on all those subfolders. And there are a lot of them!
Is there a way to set the permissions only on a root folder and then let the subfolders inherrit these permissions?

Use "Manage Settings" (Exchange 2003 SP2) options to propagate the permission setting to its subfolders

OR
Use PFDAVAdmin tool to configure the permission on the public and propagate the permission change to its subfolders.

To restore the permissions required by Exchange Server:
In Exchange System Manager, right-click the Folder container, select the public folder tree, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab, click Advanced, and then select Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object.
Wait for Active Directory to replicate the change to all of the domain controllers.
Right-click the public folder store and click Mount Store.
