I migrated from Exchange 5.5 to X2K about 3 months ago. All of my public folders are have a problem assigning permissions. If I do not change "Default" to Owner, no one can be an owner. Also it seems what ever "Default" is set at , i.e. "reviewer", all users that have "reviewer" access granted to them with no way of changing it to something above that level. Is there a way to remove public folders and then reinitialize the public folders ( rebuilding the security ) and then importing the backup from PST? Help!!
