  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q176409

SUMMARY

The Internet Newsgroup public folder may become visible to clients in the organization after making the folder not visible from the Client Permission Property page inside of the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.

MORE INFORMATION

This can be caused either by:

Introducing an Exchange Server 5.0 site to the organization through directory replication with the Internet Newsgroups public folder configured to be visible, which is the default.

- or -

Installing an Exchange Server 5.0 computer into an existing Exchange Server 4.0 site which participates in directory replication with the organization.

RESOLUTION

Follow these steps to make the Internet Newsgroups public folder not visible to Exchange Clients:

  1. Connect to the new Exchange Server 5.0 computer from the Exchange Administrator program.
  2. Expand the Folders object to expose the Public Folders hierarchy.
  3. Expand the Public Folders hierarchy and view the properties of the Internet Newsgroups public folder.
  4. Click on the Client Permissions button and clear the "Folder Visible" check box for the role of "Nonediting Author."
This will hide the Internet Newsgroups public folder from your Exchange Clients in this site and other sites to which it replicates to throughout the organization.
