I am using Outlook 2000 on an Exchange server and we have recently created a public folder for people to use.

This folder consists of many sub folders which need to have the same people having the same permissions for each. Is it possible to batch add users into multiple folders? The only way we have found is to add each user to each folder one at a time. We are dealing with approx 100 folders, and 30-40 users. Doing them one by one is very tedious.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

i have only one method:

create the main folder first, grant all necessary accounts and permissions, then when you create the sub folders, these access rights will be propagated down.

but if you have already created those fodlers, and there arealready postings, i'm only aware of one by one and folder by folder

One thing you can do, assuming you want the same 30-40 people to have rights to all the folders, is create a distribution list with all of them added to it. Then you need only give the one list permissions, rather than all the individuals. Once you're done adding the people and giving the list permissions to the folders, you can hide the list so it can't be used to mail to people, if you so desire.
