Log in to user's mailboxes
Hi! 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).

RE: Log in to user's mailboxes
Once you do manage to open the mailbox, how are you proposing to back it up?

RE: Log in to user's mailboxes
Thanks to all! I'm now waiting to see if the permissions work. I'll back it up creating a .pst with all the information (no big problem on that). Do you suggest anything else?
