SUMMARY

This article describes the commands that are used in the Public Folder Administration tool (PFAdmin.exe).

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the Public Folder Administration tool that is included in the Exchange 2000 Server Resource Kit to administer public folders on an Exchange 2000 computer. If you are an administrator, you can use the Public Folder Administration tool to change the replicas and permissions on a folder or folder tree.

To start the Public Folder Administration tool, double-click the Pfadmin.exe file. You can then enter appropriate commands.

The following commands are used with the Public Folder Administration tool. Separate each parameter of a command with a tab.

You can also define the scope for an individual folder. If the command does not include a scope, then the Public Folder Administration tool assumes ALL for the full public folder hierarchy.
