From: mdlister on 18 May 2010 09:58 Afternoon, I have done a search online for any reference to outlook 2007 public folder posts and from field greyed out but can't seem to find anything to explain why this is happening. Currently users in outlook 2000 post items in outlook using the from field and select a team from the Gal instead of from an indervidual, now they are migrating to 2007 they do not have this ability as the From Field is Greyed out. Is this a new restriction in 2007 or something that hasn't been set correctly? Thanks -- mdlister
From: Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] on 18 May 2010 16:47 Check with the Exchange Administrator to see if there are any restrictions set on Exchange. Public folders belong to Exchange, not Outlook. You may also want to post htis to an Exchange.Admin group for additional information from the server side gurus. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Thanks Milly, I am one of the Exchange Administrators, :) and nothing has been changed in our environment since introducing 2007. I checked with a user of 2000 and they are still able to post messages in to any public folder they have access to and edit the from field to make a post appear as if its from a team or another team member but its disabled in 2007 so i assumed its either not configured disabled -- mdlister |
