Changes to the rule could not be saved – Public Folders Rules

Well, this one was frustrating. To generate an Outlook Public Folder Rule and avoid the Changes to the rule could not be saved” error (Public Folder Assistant), I had to do more than what Microsoft Exchange knowledgebase suggested (@ http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=903289). I also had to go to the actual server object in Exchange System Manager, go to the “Security” tab and explicitly change my user account in there to have Send As permissions as well. I figure this is probably because I was the actual administrator who installed Exchange and my account was already in there and although I had full control, the Exchange setup program (educated guess) explicitly denied me send as permissions… dumb but its working for me now.

    1. Whoa. That’s an old post. Sorry, I haven’t used a public folder in probably 8 years. I’ve left your comment here though in case someone else happens to see it and has some insight.
