how to give exchange admin access to certain public folders using EMS
I am using Exchange 2007 SP2. I came across some public folders that either the exchange admin, or myself (domain admin account) is not present on the public folders.
For example, in the root of public folders, let's say the folder is called development, and then I have 2 more subfolders called folder 1 and folder 2, and both have subfolders inside of those.
What's the command to give the exchange admin and any other account access to the development folder and every other folder as well, so it can propagate to every subfolder, using EMS?
Thanks, Dan.

This is why I don't like the shell. I tried your command, and I get this now.

ok, so that listed a bunch of folders, but how does that help me?
I'm not sure exactly what I need to type to just give exchange admin and myself full access to everything in the development folder.

got it to work, I had some error messages, but it worked, thank you so much.
Now how do I remove a person, so they don't have access to everything, and also, i tried lowering someone's access, but it didn't work. So I would like to know the following commands:
1. how to remove a person completely
2. how to change someone's access
3. I'm assuming I want to add a person to have access to a certain folder, do I just use the following command?
get-publicfolder \development\test1 | add-publicfolderclientperm ission -accessrights publishingeditor -user exchangeadmin

If figured out how to add others and modify access, but the last problem is, I don't see how to remove a user from all the different public folders under the root folder.
I tried the "none' attribute, but it changed some, and some still remained as owner.
Also, it does not remove the user from the list, how do I remove the user from the list?

I think I figured everything out, I just need help on the command on how to remove a user from the list, I know how to change the permission to none, but I would like to clean it out and remove it completely.
get-publicfolder \development\test1 | Remove-publicfolderclientp ermission -accessrights publishingeditor -user UserName
Simple instead of add place remove and Username

Hi Rancy,
I ran the command and there was no error message, but it didn't remove it. I even closed outlook and restarted it, and it's still there.

Try to manually remove rights from PF using PF console in EMC toolbox

That worked, when using the GUI, i selected the account and removed it. So that's good, but I see the usefulness of the CLI as with one command, I can remove a user from hundreds of folders, so that's why I was wondering why it's not working?
Also, do you know of any websites that can help me to learn the basics of the EMS?
I'm planning to upgrade to Exchange 2013, do you know if that has both the EMC and the EMS?
Do you recomend any sites I should read prior to the upgrade, requirements, etc...?
Currently, exchange 2007 is running on win 2003 R2, and I wanted to create a new server, running 2008 R2, so I'm assuming it shouldn't be to difficult to install a clean install of exchange 2013 and just migrate the data over, right?

Exchange 2013 has EMS but not EMC it has more of a Web console administration
Site for Upgrades to Exchange 2013 ? I dont think you can normally migrate from Exchange 2007 to 2013 as migration only came now with Exchange 2010SP3 :(

so would I be able to peform all the mangement functions needed using the new web console?
In regards to the upgrade, so since I should have been able to upgrade to 2010SP3, should I be able to upgrade to 2013? Are you saying I have to wait until 2013SP3 to come out?
What do you recomend? Should I go to 2010, and then wait 6 months or so, and then upgrade to 2013? I would like to just go to 2013 if at all possible.
