RE: MS Exchange Server 5.5 Security Issue
It is possible to check this on the Event Viewer for the Exchange server under the security section as every access of a mailbox by other than the owner is logged. You need to have the appropriate level of logging configured (can't remember where this is configured). However if you want alerting etc, I recommend looking at ELM? (Event Log Manager) from our hosts at Sunbelt software:) It apparently does all this stuff. On another note, This is where the careful vetting of people in these positions of trust is essential. I'm not sure who said it but I remember hearing it quoted here frequently that there are seldom good technical solutions to social problems . It should be part of your terms of employment for IT staff that they read and agree to your acceptable behaviour policy (you do have one?) which would include the obvious stuff about privacy, p0rn and web usage, etc. If they are caught breaching this policy, it then becomes a HR problem. -Original Message- From: cslee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2002 15:54 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: MS Exchange Server 5.5 Security Issue Hi, Our company is using MS Exchange Server 5.5.

RE: IIS Lockdown/URLScan on E2K?
I am using the latest version of lockdown. It says its got urlscan integrated, and the correct settings... Well, urlscan used to load an isapi filter that I no longer see, and as for the correct settings, bogus as usual. I had to check the logs every failure to tweak the settings... But it is all working better then it used to! Didn't really break anything that wasn't easy to fix! I would say its safe now... Just be prepared to have to change the settings in the urlscan.ini file... jlc -Original Message- From: Bonner, Jon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 7:48 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: IIS Lockdown/URLScan on E2K?

RE: MS Exchange Server 5.5 Security Issue
Check event logs for event ID 1016 which tells you if someone other than the owner of the mailbox has accessed the mailbox. You should also divide up your Exchange admins. One group has top level access to the entire organization (service account admin). One group has access to only servers in a site. And the final group is delegated only the right to create mailboxes and DLs.
