Mail Forwarding (Delivery Options) 1

[TheMisio]

Dear Colleagues,

I need to give our helpdesk permissions to edit the mail forwarding option under the Delivery Options in AD. However, I do not want the helpdesk operators to be able to do much more than just that.
What permissions are required to be able to edit Mail Forwarding on MS 2003 Exchange Server? We have got over 5000 mailboxes so doing that on the mailbox level is not really an option.

Thank you in advance.

Michael

I will assume your Helpdesk logins have their own group.

Right click your domain name at the top of AD and select "Delegate Control"

In the Delegation Wizard the first thing it will ask is who to delegate stuff too. Select your Helpdesk group (you can do separate accounts if you want).

Next you want to select "Create a custom task to delegate" and click next

Select "Only The Following Objects" and scroll down and check the "User Objects" box.

On the next screen I put a check in property specific and when you scroll down you will want to make sure the only things checked are "Read Forwarding Address" and "Write Forwarding Address".

With those checked click next and finish.

Now you will more than likely need to install the admin pak or the AD MMC for Users and Computers. They should not be able to do anything other than what you ask for above.

It is exactly what I needed.
