Re: Help - recover deleted Public Folder

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

As far as I know, public folders can only be deleted by those with "Owner"
rights. You could make the owner an account that's not commonly used to log
in to client PCs, like Administrator. I find it annoying not to have an
appropriate owner for public folders, though, as you then have to log in
with the owner account to perform ordinary functions like changing
permissions.

If you set the permissions for "Default" to be the minimum you want your
staff to have, you don't then have to do anything with permissions unless
you want someone to have a higher access level. Anyone who can access your
public store will have the Default rights even if they have not been
explicitly added to the folder's permissions.

Thanks Both.

I have managed to recover the data from our backup last night

Is there a way to et the permissions so that the foler cannot be
accidently deleted in the future?

Thanks

If you can remember or guess who created the folder, you might be able to
recover it using Deleted Item Recovery from that user's account. By
default, the creator is the folder "Owner," which is the account with the
full permissions. Administrator may not have more than the default
rights to the folder.

Hi, Oops, I was deleteing some items within a public folder and I
appear to have deleted the whole folder. Can someone explain how i can
recover it please. i have tried Tools > Recover Deleted items from
Outlook, but i then get a message saying that i dont have sufiicient
permissions - I am administrator.

Can someone also advised which permissions I should switch off so that
we can delete the items within the folder, but not the whole folder
itself

many than ks
