Segmenting Outlook Web Access Per User

After you update the Active Directory schema, use the Windows 2000 ADSI Edit tool to set the appropriate value on the user's MsExchMailboxFolderSet attribute. Click the figure below to see the bitmask that determines this value. For example, according to the table in the figure, the decimal value for contacts is 4, the decimal value for calendaring is 2, and the decimal value for messaging is 1.
