This article was previously published under Q264410

SYMPTOMS

When you start Exchange System Manager, and locate the Public Folders node under the Folders node, when you select a public folder, open its properties, and click the Permissions tab, the Directory rights button may be unavailable.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the public folder is not mail-enabled.

RESOLUTION

To mail enable the public folder, click the folder, right-click, click All Tasks, and then click Mail Enable. The Directory rights button becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

In Native mode (no-pre Exchange 2000 servers), a public folder can be mail-disabled. This is not possible in Exchange 2000 Mixed mode. To mail-disable a public folder in Exchange 2000 Native mode, click the folder, right-click, click All Tasks, and then click Mail Disable. If a public folder has been mail-disabled in Native mode Exchange 2000, the Directory rights button is always unavailable.
