Ensure you have full access to the required mailbox first.Once logged into OWA you can click on your name in the top-right of the screen and this allows you to enter the name of another mailbox to open.Schimples!!!

Hi Yes it is possible. You need to grant full mailbox rights to administrator. But Administrator doesnt have full mailbox right by default. Then type "https://mail.domain.com/exchange/username" and give Administrator's password and user name.Please refer below links to future information.Grant Full Mailbox Rights to an Administrator on Exchange 2000/2003http://www.petri.co.il/grant_full_mailbox_rights_on_exchange_2000_2003.htm Regards & Thanks

Dharmesh, Admin has to have full mailbox permission explicitly on mailbox to open it with OWA 2007. Refer below article for how to give permission and how to open... How to Enable Explicit Logons in Outlook Web Access http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998830.aspx You can give full mailbox permission on all mailboxes in your environment to Admin account with below cmdlet... But this will not be applied to new users so whenever new user created you need to give permission on that mailbox manually...

Hi All,Thanks for replying.I'm admin for Exchange server 2007. Is there a way to grant full admin rights on all user mailboxes in one go, rather than doing it individually on separate mailboxes?Thanks,Dharmesh

Yes, you can. Use below cmdlet in EMS to grant full mailbox access on all mailboxes to Admin Account... Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Add-MailboxPermission -User AdminAccName -AccessRights FullAccessAmit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
