SYMPTOMS
========
Shared folders are moved by copying and deleting the original folder. Therefore,
the original permissions of the shared folders are lost. In addition, if a user
with administrator privileges moves a folder that is not owned by the user, the
user becomes the owner of the folder.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange version
4.0 clients. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The ability to move folders is a new functionality in Exchange. Therefore, it is
important to remember the following:
- Folder permissions are reset to the default Read and Write access when a
folder is moved.
- The ownership of a folder changes to the user who moved it.
- Folders can only be moved or renamed by the Administrator or a user with
administrator privileges.
