Key features:
1. Propagate public folder Access Control Entry (ACE) additions, removals and modifications without overwriting the existing Access Control List (ACL).
2. Rectify damaged Discretionary Access Control Lists (DACL).
3. Import or export permissions against either mailboxes or public folders.
4. Import or export public folder replica lists.
5. Set Calendar folder permissions in bulk.




MFCMAPI
This is good tool to troubleshoot single mailbox related issues.The MFCMAPI UI is designed to follow the MAPI hierarchy. Each window represents some sort of MAPI table, such as a message store table, or the hierarchy table or a folder's contents table. For Extended MAPI developers, the intention was to make it easy to play around with the API and learn what you can or can't do. This UI also makes it easy for you to find the folder or item you want to work with. To work with a folder or its properties, select that folder in the hierarchy. To work with an item in a folder, double-click the folder to open that folder in its own window to see its items, then double-click the desired item. Properties will display both hexadecimal values and their text equivalents. You can edit, delete, or copy and paste individual properties and items. When you're finished working with a profile, choose Session, Logoff, and you'll be ready to start over with a new profile.

EXMON


It is one of best tool I like to work on when trouble shooting database size growing issues or tranasaction logs growing rapidly issue. we can nail down the issue to single user who might be causing problem and growing database size.

Use the Microsoft Exchange Server User Monitor to gather real-time data to better understand current client usage patterns, and to plan for future work. Administrators can view several items, including IP addresses used by clients, versions and modes of Microsoft Office Outlook, and resources such as CPU usage, server-side processor latency, and total latency for network and processing. Works with Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010.
