You need to get a list of your folders - either walk the tree or directory export (admin.exe) with the column "Folder-Pathname". Then massage the list in order to produce a series of lines like this: SETACL<tab>complete\folder\path\name<tab>username<tab>O
(use a real Tab char instead of <tab>, obviously) Then run something like type lines.txt | pfadmin "mapiprofilewithpermissions" This is with pfadmin.exe v1.3.0 DO TEST WITH with a test folder first, as always. Am I the only one who does not like being (or having a administrative mailbox as) Folder Owner everywhere ? Getting lots of conflict notifications for all the folders is not fun, I prever having the admin/antivirus mailbox every right except owner and folder contact. Bye Heiko -- -- PREVINET S.p.A.
