Hi,

I'm running Windows Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server in a Windows 2000 Advance Server invironment. My question is, can an Exchange Administrator go into a persons mailbox and read there mail?

I'm working on securing our environment and I would appreciate your assiatance.

Thank you,

Tony
 
Yes the admin can do that, although it is is most countries considered as a breach of privacy and thus against the law!
I don't see how reading other's email add to securing an environment?

So, you better have a very good reason to do that, and if it is a request from management, protect yourself by pointing that out to them and have them request it in written or at least an email.

Yes they can, but I believe that ability is disabled by default in Exchange 2000. They would have to grant themselves full read / write permissions first.

Tony,
It would be nice to give some feedback once in a while.
I noticed your other threads and you never give a final ok or not.
It is considered 'polite' to at least acknowledge the answers given. If they work, a thank you for that person will not hurt you.
