An admin should grant himself permissions to read someone's mailbox only when there is a need to do so and should remove the permission when the need is over.

You can explicitly override the denies to domain admins if you go to the properties of an information store, click on the security tab and explicitly select Allow next to those Denies. Then wait 15 minutes or restart the information store service. -----Original Message----- From: Edgington, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 2:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2003 mailbox permissions hrm... if I remember right, the group 'domain admins' (and likely 'ent admins') are explicitly denied this ability. You can use an account that is not in those groups to get access... just give it 'send as' and 'receive as' rights on the database or mailbox. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 12:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2003 mailbox permissions Thanks I did see a KB article. When I go to the user on the 2003 exchange server and click exchange advanced then the mailbox rights button. The enterprise admin group is in their with full rights. I am part of that group. I can not however open the mailbox via OWA or outlook. -----Original Message----- From: Fyodorov, Andrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 1:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2003 mailbox permissions You have to grant the admin account explicit permissions on the mailboxes or on the information store that contains those mailboxes. There are KB articles about this.

I have setup the 2003 server, have ADC running and have moved 3 of the 200 mailboxes so far to the new server. In exchange 5.5 my account was sent as a permissions admin and I had access to open anyone's mailbox from with outlook (file ->open->other users folder) The mailboxes on the 2003 server will not open for me or if I use the exchange service account I need to have access to all mailboxes. What is the best way? thanks _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
