ex 03 public folders, contacts, sub folders and outlook 07 adress books
 

we want to create a public folder (ex 03) for company contacts that has sub
folders and can be used in outlook 07

If we put top level "shared_contacts" as an address book and then create sub
folders OL 07 can't see or search the sub folders automatically

Also not all permissions seem inherited. Is there some resource that can
help me troubleshoot, or am I missing something obvious?

imho you have to add every subfolder as separate address book.

You can't search public folder subfolders all at once, you need to do it one
folder at a time. You'll also need to add each PF to outlook as a separate
address book.

FWIW, rather than making a bunch of folders, use a single folder and custom
views on the folder. This may make it easier to use the folder as an address
book and search it, while making it easy to filter the folder as needed.
