Rename Folder in All Mailboxes in Exchange 2003

[Guest Jeff Dale]

We recently installed Symantec Mail Security for exchange and in the

process it asks us to make a folder for Spam messages in all the users

mailboxes.

 

In our brilliant minds we spelt the work Symantec incorrectly, Now

all our mailboxes have the word "Synmatec Spam" in them.

 

I know you can use Exmerge to do this but for some reason this just

won't work.

 

I have a more recent version of ExMerge as per MSKB 842227 and have

followed the steps in an article showing you how to rename folders

from a different language but that doesn't seem to work.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

you may put a vbscript at users logon to delete / create the folder again

(or rename maybe).

 

something like:

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set myNameSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set myInboxFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)

Set myNewFolder = myInboxFolder.Folders.Remove("Synmatec Spam")

Set myNewFolder = myInboxFolder.Folders.Add("Symantec Spam")
