  Hi Folks,
  This weeks dowload pick is a must have for any Exchange Admins toolbox. 
  It is aptly misnamed PFDavAdmin.exe.  Why do I say it is misnamed? Because 
the utility does so much more than just administiring public folders. It also 
works on Users Mail Boxes! The beauty of this utility is that it has the hidden 
gem ability to recover recently deleted mail folders that users can not seem to 
recover. (you can do the same for accidently deleted public folders.) You can 
use this utility to manage permissions on Public folders as well as on 
mailboxes.  Good stuff all around. 
   
  To use the utility just type in the name of your exchange server and put in 
your dc that is the global catalog server. You can choose mailboxes, public 
folders or an individual users mailbox.  It uses the URL of the users mailbox 
for this function. To find the users url you can simply open all mailboxes, 
right click on the user and choose folder permissions. You can then copy the 
url from the second line of the user and relaunch the utility and paste it into 
the box. 
   
  Dig around in this utility and you will find all sorts of goodness.
