Hi!
What is the problem with the public folders?
Switching to Exchange Native Mode might help with restoring permissions to public folders.

Really, can you walk me thru trying to do this? You see, originally one of my colleagues installed the IISLock tool.. this caused many headaches.. I removed the tool, modified the registry, went on the Windows Knowledge Base and did a million things to fix this but it's still causing a problem with modifying permissions in Public Folders.. When the "actual" owner of these created files can't make the changes he needs... you know that this IIScrap tool is quite a pesky little thing! Anyway, no one has told me about running Exchange in native mode.. how do I actually do this..

thx u!

Hi!

I would recommend you to install (reinstall) the latest SP for Exchange2000 because there is a chance that it will fix your problem.
Then - switching to Exchange Native mode. You can switch to Native Mode if you do not have Exchange 5.5 servers in your site. Start the Exchange System Manager, Right click the top icon for your Site Name, choose properties and in operation mode choose Native. After that reboot.

The solution is simple, get your hands on a Exchange 2000 Server Resource Kit .

guys, where do you actually check to see if Exchange 2000 SP's were installed on an email server. I'm obviously checking in Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs. I see Windows 2K sp4 there but no Exchange SP's, any place else to look for this?

thx

Right-click on the server in Exchange System Manager and select properties. You can cross-reference the build number here:

I don't think MS provides pfadmin as a download. I'm pretty certain you have to purchase the Resource Kit to get most of the tools. You can, however, get the text of the Resource Kit book here:
