O.K. here is the deal I want to remote administer Exchange Server. I have installed the admin tools on my Windows 2000 box and installed just fine. But when I try to connect it is telling me I do not have sufficent rights to do this. Do I need to dosomthing on the exchange server that I have not already done. I have given myself all rights for modification under premissions of my mailbox. Is there any where else that has to be setup in order for this operation to work.

Once again I am basically wanted to be able to remote administer the exchange server with out having to go to it to add users. Please help :-)

Also my email address is wroming@ci.killeen.tx.us which will be quicker for me ..if you sent me a direct email all you have to do is in your email reference your screen name on here and in the responce you send on techrepublic just say that you sent me an email on this matter to my email address and lets see if we can figure this out together. THanks and look forward to everyones help. :-)

You need to have admin rights for the exchange server. On the server, go into exchange administrator. Goto "Site Name"\Configuration\servers\"Server Name". Highlight the server and click on the properties button. Once in properties, go to the permissions tab. Add your user account or an admin group you belong to.

More specifically, you must have at least view permissions at the ORG and SITE level, then admin at the server, to get administrative abilities on that server. To be able to fully administer the Exchange Org, you need permissions, set in the Exchange Admin, at the ORG, SITE and CONFIGURATION levels of at least ADMIN, or PERMISSIONS ADMIN, if you need to alter permissions on Exchange objects.

Good luck,

Ian
