I am running Exchange 2003 in mixed mode on Windows 2000 AD. And, I just decommissioned my Exchange 5.5 Server. I was accessing the calendar permissions tab via the calendar properties in the navigation pane on the local Outlook 2003 client. When I try to apply the changes after I have added a distribution list I get the following error: The modified permissions can not be saved. And, I am not able to access security groups, since only the receipents from the Exchange 2003 ESM are listed. Is this a limitation due to security changes in Exchange 2003. As I understand it in Exchange 5.5 you could assign permissions to a calendar via a distribution list.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] 11/30/2005 12:25 PM PST   Answer   Only universal security groups can be used for client permissions.
