Strictly speaking, anyone who has the ability to set mailNickname and homeMDB can create a mailbox. However... It depends on the tool being used. Most tools, especially anything that uses CDOEXM or emulates CDOEXM explicitly, will require Exchange View access to look up the homeMDB URL. If you use LDIF or admod or anything else that can directly update those attributes mentioned above, you are good to go.
That being said, while you are new and making changes, take away account op rights. It is a pain to clean up later and you run into issues with adminsdholder when people try to reset each others passwords etc. Acc Ops is there simply for the migration from NT to AD. After that you should go to delegated IDs. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Kern Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] account operators I thought AO had complete rights to the user object which would include exchange attribs. i guess they still need rights to the store? is that it? thanks On 8/11/05, Coleman, Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I expect they lack Exchange View Only Admin permissions (or higher). > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Kern > Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 8:27 AM > To: activedirectory > Subject: [ActiveDir] account operators > > is there any reason an account operator could create a user but not a > mailbox for that user? > > thanks > List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx > List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx > List archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ > List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx > List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx > List archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ > List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
