How does one assign the minimal permissions for creating and deleting mailboxes along with the permission to change/add email alias. Should I just used the builtin role of "Exchange Recipient Administrators" from my understanding this should cover all the above of what I want to accomplish. I am assuming this would be exchange org wide when assigning this permission. Thanks in advanced

The Exchange Recipient Administrators role has permissions to modify any Exchange property on an Active Directory user, contact, group, dynamic distribution list, or public folder object. During Exchange Setup /PrepareAD, the Exchange Recipient Administrator role is created in the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups container in Active Directory. This role also lets you manage Unified Messaging mailbox settings and Client Access mailbox settings. Members of the Exchange Organization Recipient Administrators role have the following permissions: Read access to all the Domain User containers in Active Directory that have had Setup /PrepareDomain run in those domains. Write access to all the Exchange specific attributes on the Domain User containers in Active Directory that have had Setup /PrepareDomain run in those domains. Membership in the Exchange View-Only Administrator role. Users who are members of the Exchange Recipient Administrators role will not have permissions to Domains where Setup /PrepareDomain has not been run. When you add a new Exchange domain, make sure that you run Setup /PrepareDomain in the new domain to grant permissions to the Exchange administrator roles in that domain. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996881(EXCHG.80).aspx Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
