Print operators is a protected group in 2k3.  Robert Williams' post included a full list of the protected groups in 2k & 2k3.  The AdminSDHolder attribute is set to 1 for members of protected groups.  Another admin thought that several users needed to be in the print operators group to manage print jobs.

Maybe AdminSDHolder is biting you?

Here’s an article that talks about the Send-As specifically, but it’s more than just that:

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by "protected groups", and how did modifying the membership of the Print Operators group cause you grief?
 
Thanks!

Did someone put that account into one of the protected groups?  "Print operators" caused us a lot of grief a while ago.

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD object (User accounts) Permissions dissappearing

Environment: Windows Server 2003 R2 and 2000 mixed AD forest with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and one BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) server.

Scenario: Existing AD account with full Exchange mailbox and provisioned BES user. Out of the blue the user is unable to send from their BlackBerry. Permissions are checked in ADUC, and the required SendAs permission granted to the BES account have disappeared. This has happened to new and existing users.

I do not know where to start. I am reviewing a dcdiag /e /v to see if there are any potentially related problems.

Thanks,
