Hi there,

We've got a public folder which we're trying to delete but it won't allow me to. I'm trying to do this through Outlook and when I click delete it gives an error saying your not allowed to and to check your permissions. I've got owner client permissions to it and also full administrative privileges. I've tried deleting it as Administrator which has the same rights as me and I get the same. I can rename this folder and move it. I've tried deleting it through OWA and when I confirm deletion another OWA window pops up saying my session has ended and to reauthenticate. There is nothing in this folder, we're a single server SBS 2003 server -Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003.

Any suggestions will be greatly welcomed!

Thanks
David

Can you delete it using the ESM?
Are there entries in the Application Log at the time you attempt the delete?

I don't get the delete option in ESM, I read somewhere about that, but when I try it from in there it doesn't give me the option to. I'll check the eventlogs and report back.

Thanks
David
