Is there a way to give delegate permissions to a particular users inbox, calendar etc. to another user. For example joe needs to open bill's inbox. Can this be done from the Exchange 2000 server?

I know that this can be done from the Outlook client.
 
It can be done from the Exchange Advanced tab in Active Directory Users & Computers on the user giving permission.
 
Open AD Users and Computers. Select Advanced Features from the View menu. Open the Properties page for the user whose mailbox you wished to be viewed (in your example, Bill).
Select the Exchange Advanced tab. Click the Mailbox Rights button. Add the other user (in your example, Joe)and give access to the mailbox. Select the boxes next to Read Permissions and Full Mailbox Access.

Keep in mind that this process will not provide as granular a level of access as you can get with Outlook Delegation. When you assign rights from the server side, it's either everything or nothing. If a user only needs calendar access it is best to assign delegate rights from the client.
 
Thank you! I especially wanted to know if you could give the level of access that you can give through the Outlook Client Delegations.
