Is there a way to create a group of administrators that can see everyones calander, contacts folder, and tasks, but not their mail (without making the folders public)? if so, how is this done? I have limited knowledge of Exchange, but am familiar with it, as well as the Active Directory. I don't however know the first thing about doing this. Exchange 2003 on a Windows Server 2003 virtual install on Server 2008 32Bit. Neither of these machines are Domain Controllers. Thanks for your help in advance. I have googled this, and nobody seems to have needed this before. This is a dedicated mail server. Please go easy on the technical terms. I am not as familiar with those as I should be. Again, thank you in advance.

I don't have test environment in front of me to give you step by step details but here are rough steps to do it with creating a mail enabled security group for your admin and give permission with PFDavAdmin. 1. Create a mail enabled security group and add all mail enabled admins account to it. This is because PFDavAdmin only understand mail enabled universal security group which is not hidden in GAL. 2. Open PFDavAdmin, File Menu, Connect. Give Exchange & Global catalog name and select All Mailboxes, instead of public folder. 3. Go to Tools, Custom Bulk operation. 4. In Base, select all mailboxes. 5. In overall filter type(&(0x3001001E=Calendar)) to give permission on calendar or all mailboxes. 4. In Operations, select add, select operation type permission merge, select mail enabled universal security group and reviewer permission. 5. Click OK in custom bulk operation window to apply the permission on all calendar folders. Similarly you need to do for Task, Contacts folders too... Suggest you to do this on test environment or test Exchange server before doing on production Exchange server.... You can refer my below article to give reviewer permission on all calendars. Just make sure that instead of Everyone you are selected admin group which you created in step 1. http://exchangeshare.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/faq-give-calendar-read-permission-on-all-mailboxes-pfdavadmin/ Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
