Create new folder in root of Mailbox 2

[leploep]

I want to push out a folder to ALL Outlook clients in my org. I have one Exchange server that they all point to. the folder needs to be created at the 'root' level of their mailbox (and set its Homepage property as well).

Is there an easy way to automate this, or do I have to go around to each machine and manually create the folder?

I would guess custom managed folders is your friend here if you have Enterprise CAL's for your users.

Custom Managed Folders won't do this, because they go in a folder called Managed Folders. Not at the root.

vbscript should be able to do this.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I've played around with the managed folders but indeed i want the folder to be in the root of the mailbox. I find it mindbogling that this cannot be done in the EMC. Why is there not an extra tab with the default folders of the mailboxes. oh well this is not the first time my mind has been boggled on managing MS apps.

Pat could you please point me in a direction on how to do this with VB script? Would it involve putting the code in a cmdlet and run it in the management shell?

I'm not what you call an exchange wizard so please bare with me here

oops

“Bear with me,” the standard expression, is a request for forbearance or patience.
“Bare with me” would be an invitation to undress.


So to be crystal clear i actually ment "bear

The method I've seen requires vbscript to run, requires CDO to be installed on the server, and a .csv file with user names in it.
