Hi Farmer,

It is not possible to select list of mailboxes from all to give permission with PFDavAdmin…

Hi Lars & Andrej,

I did that for “Journal” folder of all the mailboxes on a server with custom bulk operation option available in PFDavAdmin with below query “(&(0×3001001E=Journal))” to add permission. Similarly you can do for other folder which is in different language.

I am not able to recall it properly right now, I will checkout and get back to you….

Any solution for the language problem mentioned by Andrej?

It works like a charm when the calendar is called “Calendar” but no-go for any other naming…

This is a great article!

From above, you detail how to change all mailboxes on an Exchange server. Is it possible to use PFDAVAdmin to target selected mailboxes and change their calendar permissions?

We have user accounts that have been modified to become resource accounts (via Auto Accept script). The office manager wants to access all 57 conference rooms’ calendars.

Hi. This is a great procedure.

We had quite some users with Calendars for which we had to add Everyone => Reviewer role.

The only trouble we encountered was our language specific folder naming. When Calendar is Calendar everything works great… but we have users with Calendar named Koledar.

Unfortunately the folder is not updated via PFDAVAdmin Tools => Set Calendar.

Any ideas how to overcome that obstacle? We were looking into “Tools\Custom Bulk Operation” but can’t find enough info how to configure it for our requirements.

Hi Tom,

This is folder level permissions, save inside mailboxes and applies on existing mailboxes when you follow the procedure so you need to do it periodically when new mailbox is created in the mailbox store.

Does this change the settings only for existing mailboxes or does it also change the default setting so that when a new user is created in Exchange later, the settings will apply to new users?

Thanks for sharing!

It’s sad but true that there are more than enough companies out there, where new employees are asked to grant read access to their calendars manually when actually it’s so easy to accomplish centrally… well, at least when you know how it’s done that is.

Cheers
