I have a single user that when logged into a specific computer has the ability to open other users folders (Inbox, Calendar,etc) in Outlook 2007 (File > Open > Other users Folder) without the other users granting him permissions.

When we first learned about this we researched our various Exchange Admin groups and found him explicitly entered as allowed in one of them. We removed him from the group thinking this would resolve it but his full permissions continue. Even after reboot, logoff, replication, etc.

If this user logs into another computers he does not have this full permission.

We have compared his permission with other users permission and find nothing out of the normal (Active Directory User and Computer (On Exchange Server) > User Properties > Exchange Advanced Tab > Mailbox Rights. We have looked in Exchange System Manager at the Server level and the Mailbox Store level and see nothing out of the usual. I could probably remove his computer from the domain, delete its computer object in Active Directory and rejoin to resolve this but I would like to understand HOW this is happening.

It's almost like that permission didn't fully get deleted.

Any suggestions?
