Issue with Full Mailbox Database Access
Hi,Recently i have tried to issue full mailbox Db access right for a user account, so that i can check the users mailboxes when ever there is an issue/monitoring.I have issues the rights thru the command, get-mailboxdatabase - identity db name | Add-adpermission -user user or group name -accessrights GenericAll -extendedrights receive-as, send-as get-mailboxdatabase -identity "Mailbox Database" | Add-adpermission -user 'userAlias ID' -accessrights GenericAll -extendedrights receive-as,send-as -inheritancetype AllAfter Running the command i can see that the Admin ID has the Full Mailbox Permissions to all the mailboxes in the Mailbox Database.The problem is that i can access all the user mailboxes thru the Outlook, but when i try to open the mailbox thru the OWA(Explicit login) it says that i don't have the right to access.One wierd thing is that, when i manually open any user id and remove the Full Admin rights for the Admin account and if i re-add the same id again. It seems to be working thru OWA.Can any body help em understand where i am worng.Also, please let me know How to view the ID's who are all having the what rights for a particular MailIn DB.Thanks, Exchange 2007

Hi, Try below mentioned commandGet-mailbox | ?{$_.Database -eq "Server\SG\Store"} | Add-MailboxPermission -AccessRights FullAccess -user "domain\youraccount"In this command you are providing full access to your mailbox on all the users on the mailbox Database speicifedThen you can try to access the maibox from your outlook and you shoule be able access all the mailbox of the mentioned store. You can also provide extended rights send as permissionsRegards,Krishnahttp://smtpport25.wordpress.com

Hi Krishna,This command will be applied for all the Mailboxes present in the Storage Group. But,the command will not workget applied to the Newly Created mailboxes right?I have already tried this command, i think both the command functions as same. In this way it works good both in OWA and Outlook. but it is not getting applied to the newly created mailboxes.get-mailboxdatabase -identity "Mailbox Database" | Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -user 'useraliasID'-AccessRights 'fullaccess'Any idea why? and how could we rectify it?Thanks, Exchange 2007

Hi,When you create a new mailbox its GUID is not created unless user logged into the mailbox or send a mail to the mailbox. Then you try sending the test mail to the mailbox and try to run the command. This should work. Regards,Krishnahttp://smtpport25.wordpress.com
