Exchange 2000 public folders question

[Brazen]

I have public folders set up and I see how you can use mail-enabled groups to assign permissions to folders, but what if I want to give permissions to a group of people, but I don't want an email address associated with this group name and I don't want the group name to show up in the Global Address List? What sort of method is other people using for folder heirarchy and permissions in the public folders?

anybody?

Am I not making sense here?

Can't you just define it under system Manager, then pull up the properties, click on permissions and then click directory rights and assing it a group under AD?

no, i've been through what he's going through and haven't found a good way to do it yet. If a group is not mail enabled, you can't add it to public folder permissions, it just doesn't show up. I guess you could check the "Hide from Exchange address lists" after you have added it to the public folder permissions and see if they still retain the permissions.

Next to Directory Rights it says it is for accessing the Active Directory object, not the public store itself. So far, my findings have been in line with Joemonkey's, unless I am mistaken.
