Shared Calendar Cannot Delete Entry

[rosie123]

This one has got me stumped. I'm running Windows 2000 Exchange Server. I have a Shared Calendar that all employees use to track meetings, etc. There is an entry on the Calendar that was made by a previous employee (a reoccuring meeting) and I cannot delete it. I logged on as administrator (Full control of the domain) and I still get the following error:
You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system administrator.
I cannot log in as the user who created the meeting because her account has already been deleted from the server.
Any ideas????

You have to explicitly use administrative authority to take control of that object at the server level. Once that is done, you can go ahead and delete it.

Does that help? Need more?

Thanks for the reply. I'm logged onto the Exchange Server as administrator. In the exchange system manager it shows the administrator profile as having full control over everything and I still receive an error when trying to delete.

Gosh;

I am running Exchange and Server 2k3, and what I had to do in a similar situation was this;

From the Exchange System Manager, access the Client Permissions of the folder in question. This will give you a list of who owns what, and what permission levels are. From there, nothing should inhibit an exchange admin. from changing things around to suit.

It would be odd if this dos not work.

Good luck!

When I try to access the folder permissions on the Public Folder (Shared Calendar) I get the following error:

The connection was refused. Ensure that your HTTP Virtual Servers are all started and check that the

http://WWW service

is running.

Any suggestions?
