First Day on this new job I realized that my account didn't have full control and all access to everything. Specifically I could give permission for another employee to view a mailbox call brach request. How in the world do I fix this without reloading exchange!!!!!

i'm not sure of the question! but you can'nt delete administrator account. are you saying that the administrator account is no long seen?

have you tried adding administrator rights to your account?

by ped

go to:
1>exchange administrator
2>create mailbox
3>select the user account that this mail box

when the user logon then they will have access to mail.

I agree but I need one of three people to be able to use this mailbox....sorry for the delay in information....I'm new to exchange.

by ped

if i understand you right. you want 3 users to use the same mail box? if so then it's not possible unless all 3 use the same logon account and then only one can used mail at a time. exchange will only let you add one user per mail account.

let meknow

by jjordan

It is possible becuase we have another mailbox that two different people log in to.

Hi Jordan,

if speak about Exchange 5.5 and you want that a couple of useres should use the same mailbox than you should assign a Global Group rights for that Mailbox.

If you want to change the Admin-account for Exchange then change this on the Permission Tab for Organization, Site and Configuration. Add a new Account and give him the Adminrol with right to change Permissions, delete the old Account fromt this tab.

Under NT youl COULDN?T delete the Administrator Account yes, but you could rename it an could take away all the rights from him with the Domain-Manager. First build up new Admin-Account, copy the first etc.

If you have further questions so Mail me at adoenmez@hotmail.com.

-----------------------------------------------------
If we Speak about Exchange 2000, all right their you have no chance doing it, by design per Mailbox only one Owner is allowed.

An other idea, how about to take an public folder instead an Mailbox for your issue?

hope ithelps

Hi i forgot:
1.) Exchange and NT are two diffrent worlds, you have to administer both worlds. The only thing is that you have an plugin that pops up the Domain-Manager if you create an Mailbox and the other way round.

That Means if you choose aSite and then klick on the permission tab and add their the Guest account and gave him Admin rights, so what ? The Guest account have Admin rights in Exchange for that Site but no rights under NT !!( probably you enabled the guest account first of course.)

Frobo....I apologize for the delay! I am new here on the job and they had enough work for 5 people lined up for the sucker that took it....me.Adding global group rights was the key to my solution!!!! I'm sure I'm not as technological as yourself but if you ever need some help don't hesitate to email.

Thanks

Jeromy Jordan
