I would prefer to leave my clothes on, if you don't mind. The key to sharing folders in Exchange Server is that you need to grant read permissions on the root mailbox folder (Outlook Today) then appropriate permissions or no permissions on the subfolders.

Bare with me while I try to explain in detail. I installed a new 2000 domain with E2K. Single server fairly simple. Imported all of the user info needed from their Eudora server. Everthing so far so good. Majority of the user where using POP3 clients. Redirected DNS to point to the new server. Everthing fine users can get/send mail. Now the fun part. They were using net folders on some Outlook clients to share contacts, calendars, etc. . Because Netfolders requires RTF messaging to send the updates, they were using PST's at the time (eudora) To make things stable and since they now have an Exchange server, I converted the calendar sharing clients from Internet/PST to Exchange Server services. They login into a NT4.0 Domain (which has a full trust setup with the E2K domain) and use the Exchange server that resides in their only 2000 domain (mixed mode). For the NT4.0 users to see their respective mailboxes, I gave those users full mailbox rights to the associated 2000 domain account. That worked just fine. They could send/recieve mail. Finally to the part that does not work. When they go to the properties tab say of calendar and give permission to some one else, it says unable to open folders when the user(assistant) tries to open via open other user(s) folder. If I give the user(assistant) read only mailbox rights to the sharing user in 2000, same result. If I give the assistant full mailbox rights, they can open the folder. But they also can open any of the folders and write to them whether they only have reviewer rights or not. I am thinking that I have to upgrade the other NT 4.0 domains to 2000 so the security model is the same. Was thinking of using the child domain schema. This has really got me stumped. been trying to resolve this for awhile. I hope its something easy but have a feeling it is not, especially because they have 14 other domains that this may apply to for sharing calendar info. in the future. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
