Exchange 2007 account


The employee forgot to put out of office reply in Outlook before you leave on vacation. Is there a way for an administrator to do it for the user without knowing his password? running Exchange 2007


Solution

  • The following steps that you need.

    To get started in the shell, go to:

    Start > All Programs > Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 > Exchange Management Shell

    This opens a window that looks a lot like a normal command window but, instead of using the old cmd.exe in the background, this is the new, rather plain-looking PowerShell.

    Run the command from exchange shell:

    Add-MailboxPermission -[mailbox name] -User [Your admin account] -AccessRights FullAccess.
    

    From that point, you have full control of the mailbox and should be able to access it with your credentials.

    I hope this helps. Please, let me know if you're still getting hung up.

    P.S. Look this issue here. Maybe it will be useful to you.
