I have not. I'm reasonably certain that it will work against mailboxes though.

Thanks Damien--I did see a reference to that utility, but can't tell if it's 
supported for Exchange 2013, as I saw someone mention it can't be used on 2013 
PFs.  But, I'm sure with mailboxes.  Have you used it with 2013?

Have you taken a look at the mailbox in ExFolders? It's pretty handy for 
shining a light on oddballs like that.

So, I found the PS command to fix the permissions, but still have the error 
happening on her mailbox.  I actually went through and fixed numerous folders 
that were wrong-probably from way back in the day (Contacts, Inbox, Calendar, 
Journal, Notes, & Tasks all missing anonymous and had an unknown SID that had 
been delegated at one time).  Any other ideas?

Command used:

Add-mailboxfolderpermission -identity Username:\Contacts -AccessRights None 
-User Anonymous

Subject: Reset Default permissions

Outlook 2010 SP2 online mode, Exchange 2013 cu6 two servers in a DAG with 
Barracuda LBs.

I have a user who can't save any contact when right-clicking an external 
address and choosing to "Save as Outlook Contact"-don't know how long it's been 
broken, but I'm guessing this isn't new.  Here is the error message generated:
[cid:[email protected]]

I've narrowed it to her mailbox (same error on another computer with my admin 
account connected, other users don't have the issue) and I'm not finding much 
love on this searching google (a lot of dead-end threads).  She doesn't have a 
pst nor oab, and wasn't migrated from Google.  Some of these addresses are 
actually already saved as contacts, so it should just link and open them up.  
Internal addresses seem to open up the tool.

So I started looking at permissions, and I think it may be because her Contacts 
subfolder is missing the anonymous user, which shows up on other 
mailboxes/folders, albeit with "None" on viewable permission levels.  Top-level 
mailbox permissions look normal.

So, is there a tool or utility I can use to either reset permissions on her 
Contact subfolder to default, or to add the anonymous user account back?  The 
Outlook GUI only allows me to browse existing users-can't type in Anonymous.  
Still searching around for a tool or ps command, but would appreciate if 
someone knows what I should be looking for.

I didn't try the /resetfolders switch, but I think that will just recreate if 
the default folders are missing.

Thanks,
Bonnie
