Default Setting Permissions in Microsoft Exchange 2007

Before I get in to this I have to say, I cannot stand Exchange 2007. Life is complicated enough, but this version of Exchange gets to me and almost anyone I speak to who has implemented it (thankfully I've yet to internally)!!

I've come across quite a bit of confusion from people I talk to when it comes to setting permissions in Exchange 2007, so I've designed this thread around how to set the required permissions for a BESAdmin account in Exchange 2007. Deep breath.....

Exchange View Only Administrator role

To set the Exchange View Only Administrator role, type the following line from a command prompt, then press ENTER:

Quote:
add-exchangeadministrator -role ViewOnlyAdmin
where is the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server service account (for example, BESAdmin).

To check the Exchange View-Only Administrator role, type the following line from a command prompt, then press ENTER:

Quote:
get-exchangeadministrator | Format-List
The service account should be displayed with a ViewOnlyAdmin role.


Send As, Receive As, Administer Information Store permissions

To set the Send As, Receive As, and Administer Information Store permissions, type the following line from a command prompt, then press ENTER:

Quote:
get-mailboxserver | add-adpermission -user -accessrights ExtendedRight -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin
To check the Send As, Receive As, and Administer Information Store permissions, type the following line from a command prompt, then press ENTER:
Quote:
get-mailboxserver | get-ADpermission -user | Format-List
where is the name of the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server, and is the name of the ‘BESAdmin’ account
