We have over 100 databases, and our provisioning group creates new mailboxes on one specific database. I run my script that spreads those new mailboxes across the remaining databases in an organized manner. Someone is creating new mailboxes on databases other than the specific provisioning database. Two questions: 1. How can I find out who is creating mailboxes on the wrong db's? 2. How can I change the permissions on DB's, so only a few people can create new mailboxes on these DB's without affecting normal usability? We are under Exchange 2007 currently. Thanks

Hi, For the first question, if you have sp2 applied for Exchange 2007, then we can configure auditing for Exchange Configuration objects. Detail steps you can refer to the article below: White Paper: Configuration and Mailbox Access Auditing for Exchange 2007 Organizations http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee331009(EXCHG.80).aspx#ConfigureActiveDir For the second question, as we know only member from Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server can create database.So I recommend you to give proper permission on users. For Exchange Server 2007. we have serveral administrator roles, you can give proper roles to administrators.
