Hi I want to give one of our users the ability to manage Exchange users i.e. create/delete mailboxes etc. I have installed the Exchange client management tools on the users workstation and added him as a Exchange Recipient Administrator and Exchange View Only Administrator. One of other tasks I want him to be able to do is to give himself the "manage full mailbox access" permission so that he can open the users mailbox in his Outlook profile and export their emails. He gets an access is denied error when he tries to give himself the "manage full mailbox access" permission on a users mailbox. Are there any other permissions that I need to set to allow him to do this and only this? Thanks

Yes, Give him full mailbox access permission on user mailbox which he is exporting.Anil

Sorry, I perhaps havent made my question clear I want him to be able to add himself to the "manage full access permission" when he is logged onto his PC and using the Exchange 2007 management tools. At the moment when he does this and clicks apply he gets the access denied message. His user account is not a member of domain admins I just want him to be able to perform this function Thanks

the account you use must be delegated the following: Exchange Server Administrator role Administrator rights on the computer Please have a look http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996343(EXCHG.80).aspxAnil

ok thanks for that, I was hoping I could do this without giving that particular role but seems not
