Then that's fine - you've got a policy and affected parties are informed. In the US, courts have gone both ways when a policy doesn't exist. Some have said that users have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and others have denied that when using company resources. The situation is even cloudier when you work for a public institution (public university, city council, etc.).
So... policies and C-level direction are important. :-) ________________________________ From: Doug Rooney [d...@sonomatilemakers.com] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 12:53 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Permission to open all mailboxes Our HR actually make everyone else sign, acknowledging that their e-mail is company property and can be read by the IT department.

You could be held liable for any content you see in someone else's mailbox. The right answer is for you to have an "exchange administrator" login that is separate from your "domain administrator" login. Then add the "exchange administrator" login to have full-control over each mailbox database. That will automatically propagate down to each mailbox - as long as that login is not a member of any privileged group (such as "domain admins", "enterprise admins", "account operators", etc.). ________________________________ From: James Kerr [cluster...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 11:28 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Permission to open all mailboxes I did find this script but this would only affect current mailboxes and not new ones as they are added right? get-mailbox | Add-mailboxpermission -User domain\usernametogivepermissionsto -AccessRights FullAccess ----- Original Message ----- From: James Kerr<mailto:cluster...@gmail.com> To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues<mailto:exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 10:56 AM Subject: Permission to open all mailboxes I would like to be able to open any users mailbox folders from Outloook and be able to delegate permissions to give other users access to folders in those mailboxes, for example, giving a manager read access to someones calender. I used to be able to do this through Outlook when I was running Exchange 2003 but not with 2007. I'm not sure how to go about setting the perms up for this. Anyone? James
