Before upgrading to Outlook 2007, we were able to create our own master
category list in outlook, we would then use these custom categories to
categorize contacts in a contact folder located on our Exchange Public
Folders.
I did a clean install of Office 2007 on a new computer and noticed at some
point that my machine was populated with those custom categories. (I don't
remember doing anything to import those categories.)
But when I go to other machines they only have 6 color categories, I have
tried to right click on the Mailbox root and go to properties and "upgrade to
color categories" but nothing happens. It doesn't pull any of the categories
that are being used in the Exchange Pulbic Folders, Contacts folder, and I
don't get any error messages.

Is it related to permissions in anyway?
 
"Upgrade to Color Categories" should read all the categories that are used
in the mailbox (or PST file) and add them to your Master Category List,
which is stored in the *calendar*.

I don't know what's necessary for reading it, but for writing that
categories you must have SendAs and ReceiveAs permission, which in Exchange
2003 by default even admins don't have.
