Exchange Question

John Booth_1 — Wed, 29 Aug 2001 19:09:50 GMT

I need to give a person on our domain access to view all users folders on the exchange server. Does anyone know what permissions you need to give that person and where you set them. We are using exchange 5.5. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,

Which folders on the Exchange server do you want to give this person access to? All of the files on c: or d: or are you trying to give them permissions to someone's folders inside their personal Exchange mailboxes? Or are you trying to grant this person permission to administer your Exchanger server? If you are wanting to give someone permission to view the folders inside someone else's mailbox, the person that owns that mailbox would have to delegate access or something along those lines. If you could be more specific about what you want to do, maybe we can help you out.

Best regards,

Our exchange adminwas fired last week. At that point all of the domain admin where able to access anyones mailbox on the server. Now that is not the case. I need to know where to set these permissions up so that a certain user can view anyones mailbox on the server.

Hi John,

Thanks for the additional info. Why are the admins accessing other users mailboxes? Do the users know this? Maybe they were using the Exchange service account to do this instead of setting up specific rights or permissions. I'm not sure how your previous Exchange admin had everything configured or how it got changed, but I believe these documents will help you out.
