Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Administration / April 2005Cannot Delete A Public Folder
Folks, For some reason I have run into a weird problem on a folder within our Public Folders. This folder is no longer in use and must be deleted, however, when I right click it in Outlook the option to delete is greyed out. The properties page is also screwed up because I cannot add users or permissions to it. I believe the root of my problem is because the one and only defined user for this particular left the company and his AD account was deleted. All I see as a permitted user/author is the SID string of numbers. Is there a way to delete this folder manually? I've looked in Exchange System Manager and there is no option to delete. Anyone? Use PFDAVADMIN to reset the permisssions on the folder, then you should be able to delete it... http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/10/the_pfdavadmin_.html > Folks, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Anyone? Does this work on Exch 2003? I tried it and it shows me: "Could not expand http://server/ExAdmin/Admin/DOMAIN/public folders: The remote server returned an error: 403 Forbidden" I am logging in a root, this shouldnt be a permissions problem, no? > Use PFDAVADMIN to reset the permisssions on the folder, then you should be > able to delete it... > > http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/10/the_pfdavadmin_.html Does 'root' have full exchange permissions? > Does this work on Exch 2003? I tried it and it shows me: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/10/the_pfdavadmin_.html Yes, as far as I know. Root can view every mailbox and has all Exchang admin privileges. > Does 'root' have full exchange permissions? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >> > >> http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/10/the_pfdavadmin_.html Hmmm...sounds like your permissions are borked. IN exchange systme manager, if you right click on the Public Folders folder, and do properties, and then hit the security tab, is the account shown there? Does it have full perms, with no denies? > Yes, as far as I know.

If I go up the chain, the only perms that look to be denied are Send As & Receive As, however I cannot find where to change this. Even so, would these perms make a difference to what I'm trying to do? > Hmmm...sounds like your permissions are borked.

I don't see send as and Receive as as listed perms on my public folder store.

[quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >> >> >> >> >> >> http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/10/the_pfdavadmin_.html Yes, there is no Send As or Receive As there, however I do have Special Permissions with a Deny. The only problem is I can't tell what is denied within the Special Permissions. When I dig deeper using Advanced, there is deny on Special, but when I got to find what is denied within Special, they are all unchecked. I look up at parent objects to try and determine what was denied and could only find the Send As/Receive As as denied on parent objects. Sorry for the confusion. > Huh?

At this point, I am not sure where to go. You could unhide the M drive, and see if you can access the PF's that way, and if so delete that folder. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821836 > Yes, there is no Send As or Receive As there, however I do have Special > Permissions with a Deny.

Apparently I have been having a problem viewing anyhting related to Public Folder in ESM. I found it was related to my SSL cert that I use for OWA. This article allowed me to get back ability to view my Public Folder listings in ESM from which I was then able to adjust permissions and delete the public folder from Outlook. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324345 Thanks again for your help! > I wouldn't worry about the deny on special. > Hmmm....
