A. By default, all users in the Exchange Organization can create top-level Public Folders; however, you can change the default with the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit tool, which is part of the Windows 2000 Support Tools (in the supporttools folder on the CD-ROM):

  1. Start the ADSI Edit utility (Start, Programs, Windows 2000 Support Tools, Tools, ADSI Edit).

  2. Double-click Configuration Container.

  3. Under the container, expand CN=Configuration, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange.

  4. Right-click your organizational name's container, and select Properties.

  5. Select the Security tab.

  9. Click OK to exit all the dialog boxes.

  10. Close the ADSI Edit utility.
