We are running Exchange 2000 SP1 and Outlook 2000 with O2K SP2.

When a supervisor grants delegate permission to their assistant and the assistant types their name in the From box when responding "On Behalf of" for their supervisor, the followingerror appears:
"You do not have the permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user".

If the assistant does not fill in the From Box the message is sent and appears as though it came from the assistant.

How do we get the "On Behalf of" message to appear?

Here are three comments found in the forums:

"It depends on how that person got permission to send as the other person's mailbox. If the person was granted delegate access by the mailbox owner, then whenever he sends a message and puts the other person's name in the From: field, the recipient will see the message as having been sent by "User A, on behalf of User B". If, on the other hand, the Exchange administrator grants the person User or Send As access to the mailbox, from within Exchange Admin, then the recipient will see the message as having been sent by User B; User A's name will appear nowhere in the From: field."

"In AD Users and Computers, bring up the user and switch to the Security tab. Send As is one of the permissions on the list."

"User A has to put User B?s address in the From box before sending the message."

I have removed all administrative permissions and am using only the permissions set by the supervisor in their Outlook 2000 options. When the assistant puts the supervisors name in the From box the message appears to come from the supervisor, but it does not say "On Behalf of". If nothing is entered in the From box then the message appears to come from the assistant.

The assistant has publishing editor rights on the administrator's mailbox so she can view it. She also has delegate permissions from the supervisor.

It seems the flag for setting the Message to "Assistant on Behalf of Supervisor" has been turned off and cannot be turned on again.

Problem was solved by deleting delegate at client, deleting delegate from Computer& Users Exchange General tab then re-adding delegate from Computer & users then waiting until this setting propagated to the Outlook Client where permissions for that delegate were set.
