All, We would like to be able to assign delegate style read/write permissions for tasks, calendar, contacts, etc, or a combination of these. Currently, the only way I know how to do this is to login to a specific users Outlook and assign the permissions. This is obviously cumbersome because I need to change 15 users permissions which would require getting all of their passwords and logging into their PCs individually. Is there some way to do this via Exchange Management Console or some other administrator style way of doing this so I don't need the user's passwords? We are using SBS 2008 with Exchange Server 2007 and Office 2010. Thanks for your help in advance!

hi basic send-as permission can be configured by following the article below, using either the console or the shell: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998291%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx there's a lot more on the add-adpermission cmdlet here, including adding receive-as and view store rights: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124403%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx and here's some scripts if it's the sort of thnig you're likely to do a lot: http://gsexdev.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/add-delegates-to-mailbox-with.html

You can also use pfdavadmin and do a custom bulk operation against those folders. http://blogs.technet.com/b/bill_long/archive/2010/04/07/filtering-output-from-pfdavadmin-or-exfolders.aspxJames Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Is there some way to do this via Exchange Management Console or some other administrator style way of doing this so I don't need the user's passwords? Hi, You can also try to grant full access permission of mailboxes to yourself.

I have checked out all suggested options so far and none of them appear to provide a solution to exactly what I am trying to do. The add-mailboxpermission doesn't let me control what element (tasks, calendar, or contacts) I would like to set the permissions to. It only seems to change permissions on the full mailbox. I only want permissions changed for the particular element. The PFDAVAdmin seems to only allow permissions settings for the full mailbox too. I tried granting myself (admin) full rights to the mailbox which works fine. I can then login to owa open the my mailbox and then open the users mailbox. However, I don't see a way to specify delegate permissions from within owa. If I log into Outlook 2010 as admin I can add the other users mailbox as a sub account but when I navigate to delegate access it still wants to assign them to my mailbox and not the user mailbox I have selected. Any other ideas on how to assign delegate style permissions to a specific element (tasks, calendar, contacts, etc) and NOT the full mailbox without logging directly into the users mailbox thus needing their password? Thanks so much for your help!

The Only possible way to achieve your goal is to goto Outlook and give delegate access Thanks, Swapnil Prajapati I thought this might be the case. Thanks for the confirming. I just wanted to ensure there wasn't an easier way to do this as admin. Thanks for everyone's help!
