Exchange Administrator access to all email account

[dennishixson]

We have a new policy where as the admin, the higher ups want me to be able to access anyones email account if the need arose. I have searched MS, but I cannot find where to add permissions for myself to access all email accounts. I know it should be at the store level... but I am at a loss... can anyone help?

You might check just to cover your own as* that your policy book for your company states that you will review email. It's kind of a touchy thing reading others email and all.

If you are covered, then you can add yourself to the security section of the Storage Group (in exchange system manager) or create a group if others need the access and give the appropriate permissions. I know there is another way to do this as well, but cant think of it right now, i will let you know if i do.

ok, i have added myself, and have full access to everything. The only things that are denyed are "send as" and "recieve as".. still when I try to access another email account it says "unable to expand the folder"

please help....

"send as" and "recieve as"..

Exchange full admins are explicitly denied there rights specifically to prevent them from accessing mailbox contents. You'll need to modify the permissions to remove the explicit denies.

i have tried to modify the permissions, but the object is inherited from the parent, but I cannot go any higher on the org... Any suggestions? Sorry for needing the hand holding
