I would like to lock down our public folders so that no
user can download the information from them, copy, cut,
delete from them, synchronize them, etc. either here in
the office or remotely.
Outlook 2000, Exchange Server 2000

Thanks for any help!
 
What's the point? If users can't download information from the folders, you might as well delete the whole folder, right?

In order to do this, you must be the exchange admin- or
owner of the particular folder.

Right click All public folders, goto the Permissions Tab,
and make sure only you ( the admin) has the Folder visible
check box checked, you must uncheck the default or
Anonymous user visible box
 
I completely agree with you. If it's not public
information, why have it in the public folder, correct?!
However, I'm not the boss, nor can I begin to understand
how he thinks, I just need to do what he asks, if
possible. The point, as I understand it, is to have the
information available but protected in case an employee
would leave and decide to take the company's information
with them.

In response to the other piece of advice, if I don't make
these visible for the Default and the Anonymous, won't
they be hidden from everyone - therefore making the
information unavailable?

Thanks.

Yes, if you remove all permissions for the folder, no one will be able to see the data except the folder owner.
