Public Folder access denied

[Libby]

I have some users on a Win2000 network, using MS Exchange (2000 and XP
desktops) who cannot access certain public folders on the system. There
doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the problem. All the folder
rights are standard as are the network accounts. The machine builds are
identical and yet some people can see all public folders and others denied
access to one or two. The denied folders are not the same ones in each
case. The message is standard "Unable to display folder . . . blah, blah,
blah." I'm at a loss.

Any direction would be helpful.

Hi - assign PF rights to mail-enabled groups rather than individuals, and
add the users to those groups, and life becomes a LOT easier. Try this as a
test, for one folder, and see if it works. There has to be a permissions
issue somewhere.

Note - a better group for this question is
microsoft.public.exchange.clients, as this isn't really something Outlook is
responsible for.
