I just researched this myself recently. From my understanding SELF is not required in Mailbox Rights except when the user account to which the mailbox is attached is disabled, in which case it should have both Full Mailbox Access and Associated External Account. This rule also applies when the "real" owning account is in another forest and the user account is disabled. Otherwise you can use SELF but there's nothing to panic about if it's not there. So I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Each of the old mailboxes (converted from 5.5) has 2 rights entries declared for the username (I'm assuming these were one each for the old NT domain and the converted AD user), but no "Self" user. All new mailboxes have the standard "Self" account declared. First question, does it make any difference to overall account health to use "Self" instead of the declared name (I'm aware of the disabling mailbox issues of not having self with associated ext... Issue). Second, if it should be converted to the "Self" account is there a program or script anyone is aware of that can run against AD to make the necessary changes programmatically instead of manually updating 500 + mailboxes that are still in the old format security wise? ________________________________ Bob Reasoner Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
