The Exchange server use Domain admin as the service account. Create a new account for the Exchange with appropriate Exchange service permission. Added this new acct. to Exchange server site and configuration mpermisson. Changed all the Exchange services to this new acct. Stopped all the exchange services and restarted all successfully. I removed the Domain admin acct. from Exchange server site and Configuration permission. Stopped all the exchange services and restarted all successfully.
Now,the domain admin should not has the right to login any mailboxes? But it did!!
Any suggestion will be thankful.

Did you remove the account from the top level, the icon that looks like the world with a piece of mail in it?

Did you check to make sure that the account was still not propogated thru all of the mailboxes.

I have noticed that exch does not handle permissions very well downward. They do not propogate the way they should.
