Domain admins are "god" on a system.

As a user, I am unable to access another's email box. As a domain admin, I am "god" and can.

The better question is..why are you logging in as the domain admin at home? I log in as user on a system and only log in with domain admin creds when the task I am doing warrants that.

Last question is.... why don't you trust your domain admins?

Hello all

Can I make sure that domain admins can't access certain people's
mailboxes on an Exchange 2003 server?
>From a securityfocus article:
"Admin is DENIED access to mailboxes (by default), but is easily
changed"
On my home system by default I have access to any mailbox I want because
I am a domain admin so I am not sure what is meant by that statement
from securityfocus.

In AD with advanced view I can remove the domain admin under the persons
security tab. This seems to remove access to (Inbox) but not other
folders such as (Deleted Items). At the same time I lose access to
update their information. And I can just add Domain admins back in. I
have Kiwi alerting on changes made to access changes to exchange
mailboxes so being able to change permissions will be acceptable. By
default Domain Admins should not have the right though.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
