Outlook Public Folder access and permissions

How do I add an account to a public Folder and grant management permissions to that account?

Hi,
To add permissions for client users to access Public Folder content, we can use Exchange Management Shell to add it as what ManU PhiliP posted.
Alternatively, we can use the Public Folder Management Console to add public folder permissions for a client user. For detailed steps about this, please refer to the following official article:

  • CU8 Update - Public Folder Calendar and Contacts show up in OWA that no longer exist and I cannot access when selecting.

    We recently updated to CU8. I went to test out the new Public Folder access to calendars and contacts.  I first go to Calendars in OWA and I see a list of several calendars.  I see one that is listed twice, one I can open and the other states "Couldn't
    open calendar - A connection couldn't be made with the shared calendar. Remove the calendar and try to add it again, or ask the owner to share it again." I also see other calendar's that we used in the past but no longer reside under public folders.
    I get the same error on them.
    For People, I can go there and I see a section called "Public Folder" and there is a contact list called "IT Team Contacts".  When I click on it, it states in the middle pane "Your request can't be completed right now. 
    Please try again later."  This contact list is not on our public folders. 
    Any ideas on why we I'm seeing these issues?
    Thanks,

    Seems like some orphaned PF favorites. You should be able to remove them from Outlook, or via MFCMAPI

  • How to determine actual path/location of Outlook Public Folder favorite?

    I have several end users that use the Public Folder favorite system in Outlook. Our Public Folder structure is very large and messy which makes finding these favorites difficult to find. When I go to the properties of the favorited folder, it does not find
    the actual path.
    Is there a PowerShell command or some tool that will allow me to determine the path?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Public Folders can be set as a Favorite Folder at 2 levels in Outlook. one within the Public Folder structure and one within the Navigation Pane:
    http://www.msoutlook.info/question/281
    Seems you are using the favorite in the Public Folder structure. We can find the folder path by right-clicking and select Properties, and then select
    Summary tab. Now you can see the path from the Folder Path field:
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems with access and permissions

    Hi,
    I installed the 10.5.3 update, well software update installed 10.5.3, and it managed to completely bugger up my system. I could not boot up, nor could i safe boot. A verbose boot revealed it was stuck in some form of loop, loading something, which then quit due to an error and it continued to try and load it. I resorted to reinstalling os x with an archive and install due to my external disk breaking i could not restore from a time machine back up. BAsically the install managed to go wrong, and i ended up having to reinstall again. When i finally got to my desktop none of my settings had been carried over and they were in a previous system folder. I fired up migration assistant to copy it over because of the access and permissions stopping me from doing it manually. Migration assistant told me i needed a huge amount of terabytes to perform the migration! So i tried to do it manually.
    Basically all my stuff is in my home folder but none of it is set to my new user name, all the rights are set to _Unknown which is, im guessing, my old user account. Is there any way to mass set the access and permissions to my new account, including that of all the subfolders and contents?
    Any help would be appreciated, im at the end of my tether here! This is the 3rd time ive had problems with a leopard upgrade. Why does software update always fail to perform an upgrade?

    From your account, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and copy the blue text in, and press enter (you'll have to provide your admin password, which you won't see. That's normal.)
    sudo chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` ~
    After that finishes, the prompt with Computername:~ username$ will come back, and you can quit Terminal.
    To be sure, you should log out and log in again.
    Good luck!

  • Exchange 2013 - Public Folder Mailbox and Single Item Recovery

    Hello,
    I recently had a request to recover some messages that an ex-employee deleted from the "recover deleted items" folder in their public folder. Since this resides on a public folder mailbox and it does have the option for
    "Single Item Recovery" to be enabled on the box (which I enabled not knowing if this really works or not), is there a way I can still recovery these items or do I have to go to a backup to obtain those messages. Since ExFolders does not work that
    is not an option. I've seen commands to restore a public folder that was deleted but not items that were deleted directly from a public folder. I checked using MFCMAPI and I do see the dumper root and the public folder dumpster for each folder but it
    looks to be only the "deletions" folder and don't see anything similar to a "purges" type folder. Any ideas or am I stuck recovering from backup? Thanks in advance!

    So I think you are stuck and will need to restore the EDB to a Recovery Database to restore the items because when the end user purged the items from the "Recover Deleted Items" it removes them from the Recoverable Items/Deletions folder. 
    Check out this article
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/08/23/recovering-public-folder-information-in-exchange-2013.aspx
    I have not played with the recoverable items settings on the 2013 public folder enabled mailbox EDB  but you might try checking out Litigation or In Place Hold to use as a safety mechanism moving forward.  That said this will also increase the
    DB size so consider all the options before implementing
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
    2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

  • Exchange 2013 Public Folder Accessability Issues

    After migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 we are experiencing random issues accessing Public Folders.  Issues range from a hung server requests to on-screen errors like this one:
    “Cannot expand the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance”
    We are using groups to manage permissions, verified that they are mail enabled, and have used the following PS command to re-propagate permissions:
    ./AddUsersToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "%folder%" -User "%groupname" -Permissions %permissionlevel"
    The odd thing is that if the user bounces between on of their Inbox folders then back to one of the Public folders or restarts Outlook it seems to resolve itself.
    Ideas?

    Hi Niko,
    Firstly, apologies for the delayed update...
    We are still experiencing random loss of access to Public Folders, I would think it would be so much easier if I could replicate the problem quickly and easily however that is not the case as I ran into this issue again this morning.
    I am really at a loss for explanation, what I can offer is when we had migrated from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2010 I had to export the PF out to a pst file prior to importing them on the new server installation.  While migrating from Exchange 2010
    to Exchange 2013 we did follow the migration process.

  • Account access and permissions issue

    When I try to synch my iPod, I am informed that I will lose my purchased music because my computer is not authorized. When I attempt to authorize the account in iTunes, I get an error stating that the required file is not found or permissions error. My apple account is easily accessed and can be used for purchases, but not for synching. I have tried deauthorizing my second computer and have checked for permissions errors, but can find none. I asked this question in the iPod section with no answers--it would appear to be a system problem rather than an iPod issue. Thanks for any ideas on how to solve this puzzle.

    One of the following articles should help you:

  • Groupware :  SAP CRM 4.0 to MS outlook (Public Folder)

    Hi all,
    We are trying to get the groupware integration working and have been running into some issues.
    Currently i am able to send BPs from SAP CRM to MS Outlook  (public contact folder)
    But when i create a new contact in the public contact folder and select the appropriate Category, the contacts dont get replicated to SAP CRM.
    Also when i make any changes to the existing contacts which were synchronized from CRM, they dont get replicated to SAP CRM.
    Any direct would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Hemant

    Hemant,
    Could you share the process and any documenation on this subject. We are currently working on MS Outlook integration with CRM 5.0 and any direction are documentation will be appreciated. My email ID is [email protected] Thanks.

  • IDisk Public folder access

    I'm attempting to give others browser access to my public folder. Everything works per the directions below except that the public folder password doesn't work. It's necessary to use my dot-Mac password to reach my public folder! Has anyone else seen this?
    "Mac or Windows users who are not MobileMe members can access your iDisk by opening a web browser and entering: public.me.com/[YourMemberName], and if necessary, entering your Public folder password."

    I have the exact problem mentioned above.
    I have changed my System Preferences — MobileMe — iDisk — Your iDisk Public Folder — Password-protect your public folder PASSWORD to a NEW PASSWORD that is not my ACCOUNT PASSWORD and it won't take.
    I have tried to access my public folder with the NEW PASSWORD but it only responds to my ACCOUNT PASSWORD.
    I've reset it the password many times, restarted many times and have tried accessing the public folder through Safari and Firefox.
    I'd prefer to have a separate password for my public folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Public folder access error 0x8004011D when using mfcmapi

    I seem to be getting this error when selecting the public folder in mfcmapi. I'm using the Feb 2014 release of mfcmapi.
    Code: MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER == 0x8004011D
    Function CallOpenMsgStore( lpMAPISession, (ULONG_PTR)m_hWnd, lpEntryID, ulFlags, (LPMDB*)lppMAPIProp)
    File MainDlg.cpp
    Line 437
    I can access the private mailbox without issue using mfcmapi, but the public folders I'm not able to. This problem is causing my backup software not to do document level backups. So I need to resolve this issue.
    Also, if I create another user and give them the same access as administrator, the new user cannot access both the private mailbox nor the public mailbox when using mfcmapi so it must be a rights issue, but I can't find where it is!
    Any idea's would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    You really don't need to cross-post these, and you especially don't need to post these multiple times in the same forum.

  • Audit log of the User access and permissions

    Hi All,
    We need to have the Audit trail of the user access and permission. Meaning Changes to user access rights will be logged.
    This should include:
    Current Access Rights (including Date the access was given),
    Group membership (including Date the access was given),
    Previous Access Rights (including Date the access was given and revoked).
    Can we reuse any out of the box functionality of CQ. Does anybody having any pointer to this?
    Thanks,
    Debasis

    Hi PChamoun,
    At the outset thanks a lot for the clue. I am very new to CQ. Could you please guide me like, what are the API required to track the rep:policy node changes. Even if workflow will be started after any change to rep:policy but how I will be able to get the information of what change happened.
    Thanks,

  • Directory Access and Permissions

    Hi,
    I work at a company that's having a problem setting up the new macs (Core 2 Duo iMac 24") our marketing department just ordered.
    The rest of our network uses windows, so we have active directory logins for everyone. We've setup the Directory Access on the new iMacs so that marketing users log in using their AD username and pw. The local user account that 10.4 generates is set to be a local admin, but the users are just normal users in AD.
    The problem we're having is with setting permissions for some Apps that require changes from the default settings. When I go to set permissions in the Info pane of a folder or app, I open the pull down menu for 'Owner' and go to 'Other...' at the bottom to grab the user from AD (because the user is not available in the top portion where local users can normally be selected). This is where the problem occurs. This opens up the "User Listing" box, which contains a long list of AD usernames, but does not have any AD usernames that were created less than 10 months ago. I checked with my Network Admin, and virtually no settings in terms of creating AD users have changed in the last two years.
    I don't know if this is a problem with settings on the AD side or the Mac side, but here's the Mac settings in Directory Access:
    +Services: AD is checked+
    +Authentication: Custom path selected, our domain is in the list+
    +Contacts: Same as Authentication+
    +Under AD:+
    +Forest and Domain are correct, computer is bound correctly.+
    +User Experience:+
    +Create mobile account is not selected.+
    +Force local home directory on startup is selected.+
    +Use UNC path from AD... is selected, smb: is selected as Network protocol.+
    +Default user shell is selected as '/bin/bash'+
    +Mappings: Nothing selected.+
    Administrative:
    +Prefer this domain server is checked and correct for our network+
    +Allow administration by is checked, domain admins and enterprise admins+
    +Allow authentication from any domain in the forest is selected+
    Is there anything in these settings that might cause the problem described above, or is the problem something else entirely, maybe on the AD side?
    I'm also wondering if anyone knows how to find out where Directory Access is grabbing this list of users from. Perhaps our Network Admin can find out what the problem is given that info.
    Thanks,
    Gabe

    I have exactly the same problem and ProtectHome wasn't the solution. "sudo minidlnad" works fine -- TV shows root and /home/blah/blah is accessible. However, I'm not able to make the daemon run as root. Just for testing purposes, I've made all the settings as loose as possible, but TV stills shows minidlna as username and the folder is not available (systemctl status reveals permission denied).
    minidlna.service:
    [Unit]
    Description=minidlna server
    After=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=root
    Group=root
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/minidlnad -S
    ProtectSystem=off
    ProtectHome=off
    PrivateDevices=on
    NoNewPrivileges=off
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    minidlna.conf:
    user=root
    media_dir=/home/blah/blah
    What am I missing here? No possibility to run minidlna as root after the last update any more?
    Edit:
    Never mind. During all this testing I had forgotten "User=minidlna" to /etc/systemd/system/minidlna.service.d/override.conf. Daemon as root works after removing that line.

  • File and folder sharing and permissions.

    Many times when we copy files or folders to another mac computer, their permissions change, and many times the new user can not open it, until the file or folder permissions are changed. It start happen with MacOX 10.5, and still is happening with 10.7, with 10.5 we were waiting for the patch, but it never arrived, then I think is not a mistake for apple software developers??. But how can I solve this issue? the people need to interchage files and folders by USB, or network, and need to work as soon as possible with that materials and not loose time changing permissions. Someone knows what can I do to solve it?

    Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
    Is the permissions set to anyone?
    When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
    If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
    You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

  • Hard drive access and permissions

    Hello people who know.
    I must admit to not fully understanding the whole permissions thing yet, and having just brought back a drive partition that disappeared due to a permissions error I feel I need some clarification. I lost an external FW partition from my desktop but I knew it was still there. I could see it in disk utility. Thanks to searching this forum I managed to get it back using terminal prompt.
    I have an external 300GB firewire drive partitioned with 4 splits. A partion each for the iMacs 2 users. A scratch partition and a Backup partition. The scratch never has data put on it and the Backup is used purly for backing up my Mac HD.
    One of the user partions is mine and I am the admin of the system. The other user partition is my partners. I would like it that I can read and write to her partition and she can read and write to mine, but I don't want anyone to be able to access the Backup (read or write) other than myself. The scratch disk I want to behave as just that, for whoever is logged in, using whatever app is set up to use it.
    So, how should all my permissions be set in the Get Info window for each drive and if anyone has the time, why are they set that way?
    I should have asked this question ages ago just didn't get round to it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Each of the two user partitions should have their permissions set up as follows:
    Owner: The account associated with that partition
    Group: A group containing both your and your partner's accounts. If no group exists with that membership, see below.
    Owner permissions: Read & Write
    Group permissions: Read & Write
    Other permissions: Read Only
    The backup partition should be set up as follows:
    Owner: Your account
    Group: Your group
    Owner permissions: Read & Write
    Group permissions: Read Only
    Other permissions: Read Only
    On all of the preceding three partitions, every item at the top level of them should have No Access for the accounts you don't want to have access to the drive. Using No Access on a disk or partition often causes it to disappear from the Finder for any account.
    The scratch partition should be set up as follows:
    Owner: Any account
    Group: Any group
    Owner permissions: Read & Write
    Group permissions: Read & Write
    Other permissions: Read & Write
    To create a new group in Mac OS X, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, duplicate the admin group, and change the duplicate's membership to the accounts you want in the group. Choose a new name for that group, and change the gid from 80 to 400 or another number in the 400-499 range which isn't in use.

  • "Exchange Server 2003" Public folder access within OWA

    Hello,
    I can connect to my exchange server 2003 (I know I have to upgrade) with OWA through an alias (webmail). After connecting in OWA, when I click a button in the navigation bar (contact, rules, ...), it's working OK except for public folders. When I click on
    public folders button, IE open a new window with this URL https://<netbios server name>/public instead of https://webmail/public. I googled around and found a thread explaining how this problem can be address by modifying navbar.js. But in my situation
    navbar.js and every other files located in ..\exchweb\control doesn't seem to be access anymore, they have been replaced by those here ..\exchweb\6.5.7651.60. There is no navbar.js in this folder but a vw_navbar.js. I can't find the code I have to modify like
    in navbar.js to to address the problem.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Chris,
    This symptom can be caused if we enabled any redirection on /Public virtual directory. You can check the /Public settings and configuration files to remove the redirection. We can also reset the reset the default virtual directories as the KB introduced:
