OK, I have not attempted this before, least of all in relation to an exchange 2000 box. Via adsiedit please can you review the permissions currently set for CN=InformationStore & verify that these flow down on to CN=My Storage Group? If required please add suitable permissions for the group you wish to have view only capability. Regards

Hi This link will be helpful to you. Working with Store Permissions in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 PS: exchange 2000 is not supported by MS now.Terence Yu TechNet Community Support

Hi, Looking at the permissions in ADSI edit the Storage Groups where not inheriting permissions. Thanks for your help with this.

Hi, I managed to get the permissions sorted on one of the 2000 boxes by unticking the Allow inheritable permissions and then re checking it, but it does not work on the other 2000 server. I have tried your suggestion on the server that still is a problem, but it as before it does not change the permissions on the mailbox store. I have tried to apply permissions explicitly on the mailbox store, however I am unable to see the mailbox store in AD when creating user accounts still, I have tried giving full access and I still have the same problem. Cheers.

Hi, If you feel comfortable using adsiedit.msc please check the following path in the active directory "configuration partition"... CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Name of your Exchange organisation,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Servers. Does the problem 2000 server appear in the list of exchange servers found here? Regards

Hi, I have checked ADSI Edit and the server is there, also the mailbox stores are in CN=InformationStore,CN=My Storage Group, Cheers.

Hi, I have an exchange organisation with 2x Exchange 2000 and 2x Exchange 2003 servers. I am trying to use the Delegate Control Wizard to give a security group Exchange View Only rights. It works ok for the Exchange 2003 servers. For the Exchange 2000 servers, the permissions propagate down to the server level but not the Mailbox Store Level. On each of the Mailbox Stores the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object is ticked. Is there another step I am missing on the 2000 servers?
