How can you set the admin mailbox in exchange. I am setting up inoculateit and want to set up the mailbox all alerts are sent to.

Thanks

If the mailbox is used just for alert posting it can be any mailbox. Probably the best bet is to set up a new mailbox, give your NT account the permissions to access it and then add it to the additonal mailbox list on the advanced tab of your exchange profile.

It could be that InnoculateIT needs an account that it can use to access all mailboxes via MAPI for scanning purposes in which case it will need to run in the context of a high privilege (in exchange terms) NT account.
