PFDAVADMIN is a great tool to set calendar permissions for all users in a organization in an Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 environment. I.e. you can set Read permissions for everyone in your organization, so everyone can view each other’s appointments.
PFDAVADMIN has the option Set Calendar Permission in the Tools menu.
However, this option only works when you’re using English-languaged mailboxes. This is because the calendar must be named Calendar. When using another language, the calendar may be named differently. Like Kalendar (Swedish) or Agenda (Dutch).

Set calendar permissions with PFDAVADMIN
The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart outlook” in Outlook 2007
If you work with Outlook 2007 in combination with Exchange, you might get the following error when trying to open a shared calendar:
“The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart outlook“
To open the shared calendar anyway, you have to close and re-open Outlook. It will now work again (for a short while).
Visualize incoming mail statistics with Log Parser
Last week a colleague asked me to generate a list of all mail sent to a specific mailbox, including the timestamp. We use Exchange 2003, and we don’t delete the log files, so theoretically I had all the information: all the emails sent to the mailbox, and the date and time. Hmm… how to digg into 6 GB (!!) of log-files? Some search resulted in Log Parser, a free tool from Microsoft.
