    Ok, Thanks. Issue resolved.

    First "Set-Culture -CultureInfo en-us" and then open new powershell session.

    $modules = @(Get-ChildItem -Path "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\Apps\2.0" -Filter "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.ExoPowershellModule.manifest" -Recurse )
    $moduleName =  Join-Path $modules[0].Directory.FullName "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.ExoPowershellModule.dll"
    Import-Module -FullyQualifiedName $moduleName -Force
    $scriptName =  Join-Path $modules[0].Directory.FullName "CreateExoPSSession.ps1"
    . $scriptName
    $null = Connect-EXOPSSession

    Key here is to open new powershell session else Set-Culture does not work.

You might simply have an folder with the default entry deleted, in which case use the Add-MailboxFolderPermission cmdlet instead. The language shouldn't matter, as long as you enclose the string in quotes.

    VasilMichev Nope. Add-MailboxFolderPermission example@test.fi -user Default -accessrights reviewer, Cmdlet error with following error message: Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.InvalidExternalUserIdException: The user "Oletus" is either not valid SMTP address, or there is no matching information.

     

    Once again "Default" is automatically converted to "Oletus" and not working. Same thing, remove-MailboxFolderPermission.

     

    I also try to use quotes 'Default' and "default" but not helping.

      Well, for some reason the culture cmdlets don't seem to work on my machine, but try using Set-Culture first before running the cmdlet. Or just use an English box :)
