How can I limit the creation of top-level Exchange Public Folders?

A. By default, all users in the Exchange Organization can create top-level Public Folders; however, you can change the default with the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit tool, which is part of the Windows 2000 Support Tools (in the support\tools folder on the CD-ROM):

1. Start the ADSI Edit utility (Start, Programs, Windows 2000 Support Tools, Tools, ADSI Edit).
2. Double-click Configuration Container.
3. Under the container, expand CN=Configuration, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange.
4. Right-click your organizational name's container, and select Properties.
5. Select the Security tab.
