Exchange Drive M Permissions

[KDluhy]

Is there a way to change permissions on the mailboxes listed in exchange's M: drive so the administrator can view the contents of the mailbox? I'm a school administrator who needs to check on students activities.

don't use the M: drive for this. change the permissions via AD Users and Computers.

And keep in mind you are not supposed to look into anyones email, it is considered a breach of privacy.

Its not a breach of privacy for students. The students waive all rights when issued an email address.

 

[Marcs41]

As long as it is in writing. just wanted to warn you.

 

[KDluhy]

Thanks marcs41 for the heads up but yes they sign a waiver. Hey Brontosarus - where is AD is that option??

Thanks again

 

[Marcs41]

You give the admin full rights to all mailboxes in AD, that way, you can open any mailbox as if it were your own.

 

[brontosaurus]

yeah, and make sure you have Advanced Features checked off under View so you see all the Exchange Tabs...

Thanks brontosaurus that works perfect. I never saw that option there prior to you answer. Thanks again!

I'm not sure if it was clear before, but don't do anything with the M drive. Don't check their email that way. Forget you ever saw an M drive.
