Public Folder Permissions Problem

[WANguy2k]

We upgraded from Exchange 2003 to 2007 a while ago, and had a problem with public folder permissions. I'm a domain/enterprise/exchange/exchange organization administrator, but I could not access some public folders. I ended up on the phone with Microsoft, they talked me through deleting and adding myself as owner of some folders. Now I find that there's another object I cannot access. I tried using the same commands I used last time, I still can't view a calendar within a public in Outlook, although I see other calendars in the same folder.

Remove-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity \"Group Calendars\Marketing Calendar of Events" -user "MYLOGON" -AccessRights owner -server "mail"

Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -identity \"Group Calendars\Marketing Calendar of Events" -user "MYLOGON" -AccessRights owner -server "mail

You can only remove owner rights if you have them. If you don't have them, but have some random subset of permissions, you have to manually remove each of those. Do a

Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity \"Group Calendars\Marketing Calendar of Events" -user "MYLOGON"

and see what it says. Then use the Remove-PublicFolderClientPermission cmdlet to remove those rights, then add the owner right.

While not exactly the same, but maybe beneficial, see my blog post on removing the "Internet Newsgroups" Public Folder for more info on client permissions:

Thanks for your help. It shows I'm the owner of both the calendar, and the folder in which it resides. Can you think of a reason I wouldn't be able to see it in Outlook? I can see other calendars in the same folder.
