Hello We have set up Active Directory groups that gives users access to certain mailboxes on our exchange server. However, when i add a user to the group. He cannot instantly access the mailbox. Sometimes it can take up to a day before it works. Where do i begin to troubleshoot this issue?

What version of Exchange? Could be AD replication delay. If you are using ADUC to modify the membership, try pointing ADUC to the same DC that the Exchange server is using to eliminate if you're having a replication issue.

2007 sp1, is there an easy way to tell which DC the exchange uses?

Hi Please run the command Get-ADServerSettings | FL DefaultConfigurationDomainController CheersZi Feng TechNet Community Support

You sure thats available in server 2007? i get the usual "The term 'Get-ADServerSettings' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file. Verify the term and try again." $adminsessionadsettings worked though. thanks!

That gives me an empty response... CurrentConfigDomainController : Is that bad? :P
