Exchange Server in cross Forest - how to add Linked mbx to View Admin role
Hi,I have two exchange servers in two different forests with trust enabled -one way.Domain1 Exch2010Domain2 Exch2k7Now i have my user1 on exch2010 & have created a linked mbx on exch2k7 (user1) for this user. Now i want to add my user to View only admin role on exch2k7.my purpose is to give user1 from exch2010 permissions on exch2k7 as view admin roleAny thoughts?Thanks

Have you created a Universal Group with this user in the 2010 Forest, and then placed this in Exchange View-Only Administrator role in the 2007 Forest?Permission structures like this cross Forest still adhere to Universal Group best practice for administering multiple Forests.OliverOliver Moazzezi | Exchange MVP, MCSA:M, MCTS:Exchange 2010, BA (Hons) Anim | http://www.exchange2007.com | http://www.exchange2010.com | http://www.cobweb.com |

Hi there,You will have to explain further what your ultimate goal is, but yes Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 in two Forests with a trust is supported and both can succesfully provide the other with a linked mailbox.If both plan on having the same primary SMTP namespace however you will run into Autodiscover issues, however free/busy will remain unaffected.OliverOliver Moazzezi | Exchange MVP, MCSA:M, MCTS:Exchange 2010, BA (Hons) Anim | http://www.exchange2007.com | http://www.exchange2010.com | http://www.cobweb.com |
