Hi,
I am working for a company that got bought by another. I have set up the trusts and network so we can access and give permissions between the domains.
I need to be able to administer their Exchange server from my Domain. I had them add my account on my domain to the local admin group on their PDC. So I can access User Manager, Server Manager, etc fine.
But Exchange Admin will not let me connect to their Exchange server, citing insufficent rights. We have always used a Global Group "ExchangeAdmins" to give people access to our server, but they have no such group.
So I had them add my domain account to the DS Site Configuration, under Permissions. Still no go. How do i get "Inherited Rights" on the "Permissions" tab?

Thanks,
Ben Wilson
 
It must be good luck for me to post here. Everytime I find the answer not 5 minutes later:

From:
Q. How do you give another person Administrator rights?
A. From the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, add the user's Windows NT account to the Permissions on the Organization, Site and Configuration containers.

Doh!
