Setting up permission on Exchange 2010 folders using ExFolders

With the release of Exchange 2010, WebDAV support for Exchange 2010 has taken off, so PFDAVAdmin (earlier version of ExFolders) is no longer usable to set permission on exchange folders.

ExFolders is the replacement of PFDAVAdmin for Exchange 2010 .

You can download this tool from http://msexchangeteam.com/files/12/attachments/entry453398.aspx

You must this tool from an Exchange Server 2010 machine with the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service, which means it will not currently run on a tools-only install. This might change in the future.

To run the tool : ExFolders.exe must be placed in the server's Exchange \bin folder. If you try to run it from anywhere else, it will simply crash.
