Once you do manage to open the mailbox, how are you proposing to back it up?

I've been asked one thing that some of you may have already been asked to do before: access a user's mailbox and get a backup of everything in there. I'll not discuss the legal/ethical questions about this. I *really* need to get that information to my boss. I've searched Microsoft KB and found two articles: "Q147354 XADM: Service Account Can Log In to any Mailbox" and "Q147362 XADM: Event ID: 1016 Logged Incorrectly in Application Event Log" So, I've logged in to a machine using the account that is used to start all Exchange services, then I created a profile with the user's mailbox, but it didn't work. It complained about a lack of permissions. I then tried to create the profile with the services account and in the "open additional mailboxes" I specified the user's mailbox, but it didn't work too (same lack of permissions error). What am I doing wrong? How can I access the information? Don't tell me to restore de server from tape to another server (no time and no hardware available). Thanks for your help! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
