HiI would like to have my reception update all the users information in active directory.Can i lock down the permissions so that all they can do is update this information?Thankstdn@rogers.com

This is not necessarily an Exchange question, since you're actually talking about updating user attributes in active directory. That being said, it is possible to set permissions on specific user attributes using ADSIedit. You can use the ADSIedit MMC to accomplish this task. Please be very cautious about doing this, though.Nick Cozby

Issue description: How to set the administrative permission to reception This forum is for exchange related issues. For questions about AD permission setting please use the Windows Server Forum which would be the most relevant forum for the question As a non-expert on this field, I searched related info on the web, and found the article below may help:Best Practices for Delegating Active Directory Administration

i agree with Nick's thought; after window 2003, AD attrubite replication is due to "changes", not including entire forst copy, if so, it's usefull to reduce replication copy; this is the architecture design; if anything error, please tell me, thanks;-jack
