How to Restore Permissions Inheritance for a Public Folder Hierarchy

  • Article

 

This topic explains how to enable the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object option for the public folder hierarchy. If this option is not enabled, the public folder store may not mount.

Procedure

To restore permissions inheritance

  1. Right-click the public folder MAPI tree, and then click Properties.

  2. In the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab, and then select the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object check box.

After you complete this procedure, wait for the Active Directory directory service to replicate the change to all of the domain controllers. After the change has been replicated, you can remount the store.
