In exchnage 2003 how can you list all mailboxes on the server and mailbox status i.e. open/closed. Also is there anywya to check the acl per mailbox/folder on an exchange server? Our managers want assurance certain senstiive mailboxes are only viewable by valid users, but with 5000 or so mailboxes spread across several servers it doesnt seem that easy to do. Also, if you migrate from exchange 2003 to 2010, does each folder/mailbox security permissions/ACL "carry over"?

Hello, 1. You can use Exmon tool to monitor the client behaviors: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9a49c22e-e0c7-4b7c-acef-729d48af7bc9&DisplayLang=en 2. By using the PFDAVADMIN tool, we can simply check specific user’s mailbox folder’s permission: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4-E2422C0AB424&displaylang=en 3. Generally, all the permission will be carried over. Thanks, Simon

For foler level permissions use pfdavadmin as Simon suggested. For mailbox level permisions use the script below.
