We've just rolled out new Exchange 2003 servers (had 5.5) and imported our Public Folder data back in from PSTs.
I now need to set new permissions on the public folders. In Exch 5.5 I could propagate client permissions down through the tree, but this is not available in Exchange 2003 system manager.

Anyone know how it's done. I haven't found anything on MS Technet site.

Many thanks.
 
Thanks. About an hour after posting this question, I found the answer:
In Exchange System Manager > Administrative Groups, select the storage group containing the public folders. Expand Fodlers > Public Folders until you find the folder you're interested in. Right click on the public folder whose permissions you want to propagate and select All Tasks > Propagate Settings, then tick Folder Rights. This then copies the permissions of the folder to all it's child folders.
