XADM: Using PFADMIN to Remove Public Folder Permissions

MORE INFORMATION

1. On the Exchange Server computer or another server or workstation, install Pfadmin.exe from the BackOffice CD by copying the files Pfadmin.exe and Aclcls.dll to the local hard drive.
2. Install the Exchange client or Microsoft Outlook, on the computer used in the previous step.
3. Log on to Windows NT as the Exchange Service Account or an account that has Service Account Admin privilege on the Exchange Organization Site and Configuration containers.
4. Create a MAPI profile called "PFProfile". Add the Exchange Server Service to the profile and configure this service with a valid mailbox and server name.
5. Type the the following command from an MS-DOS command prompt:

   PFADMIN "PFProfile" SETACL "<Folder Path>" "<Mailbox Name>" remove no

   Where <Folder Path> is the full path to the public folder <Mailbox Name> is the display name of the mailbox to be removed from the permissions list of the folder specified by <Folder Path>
   
   NOTE: The above command will only remove the mailbox from the folder specified. If you wish to recursively remove the mailbox from the permissions of the specified folder and all its sub-folders, then do not type no at the end of the above command.
   
   Make sure that you are using version 1.30 or later of Pfadmin.exe
