Organizational Forms Library troubleshooting
Sometimes the Organizational Forms Library may not be accessible in Outlook after Archive Manager for exchange installation. This error may occur if there are too many mailboxes with full access permission for the given user and as a result, Public Folders become inaccessible. To address this error, use the following workaround:
1.Close Outlook.
2.In the Exchange server, open Exchange Management Shell.
3.Run the following command where #USERALIAS is alias for given user and #USEREMAIL is the email address of the given user:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Alias -ne '#USERALIAS')} | Remove-MailboxPermission -User #USEREMAIL -AccessRights fullaccess -InheritanceType all
4.Open Outlook with the profile of the superuser. Now Organizational Forms Library should be accessible.
5.(Optional) Open Exchange Management Shell and run the following command to give full access permissions to all mailboxes to the superuser
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Alias -ne '#USERALIAS')} | Add-MailboxPermission -User #USEREMAIL -AccessRights fullaccess -InheritanceType all
