Permissions for Exchange Server 2007

Permissions requirements for the service account on Exchange Server 2007 are:

•Mailbox Full Access

To assign the service account the required permissions, follow these steps:

1.Open the Exchange Management Shell and connect to Exchange Server.
 

2.Type the following line, and then press ENTER:
 
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Add-MailboxPermission -User <Account> -AccessRights FullAccess
 
where <Account> is the name of the service account to which the permissions will be assigned.

Important When a new mailbox is created, step 2 must be repeated.

Note The service account must be a member of the Domain Users group only. Membership of the Domain Admins group or any of the built-in Exchange security groups may deny required permissions.

For users upgrading from previous versions of Out-of-Office Manager, the permissions requirements have been simplified in this version. The following permissions can be removed from the service account:

•Administer information store (on servers and mailbox databases)

•Receive-As (on servers and mailbox databases)
