Hello,

I've set up the admin account with access to other mailboxes in exchange using the command -

Get-MailboxDatabase -identity companypriv | Add-ADPermission -user administrator -AccessRights GenericAll

I can open their mailbox as an additional mailbox in my administrator account in outlook, but I'd like to have an individual outlook profile set up for each of them opened with the administrator account credentials.   I get he profile set up but when you try to open their account it pops up asking for credentials and I put in the administrator credentials and it immediately asks for credentials again - never actually opening the mailbox.    Nothing in the event viewer on the workstation with outlook on it.

however I think the 4625 event I get on the exchange server is related.

I can login if I use their credentials but it would be much easier if I just opened all with the admin account credentials.     

I don't think this is possible with Outlook. You either need to open Outlook as admin and add the mailboxes or create a new profile for each user's mailbox and use the user's login details.

If you need to get emails that are bound for these users then perhaps enable forwarding on their mailboxes. If you need to check for a particular email in all mailboxes then perhaps look into the New-MailboxSearch cmdlet to copy emails that match a particular query from all mailboxes into another mailbox.

Thanks.

Hi,

According to your description, I notice that you add AD permission for administrator to mailbox database.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

It's AD level permission for mailbox database, so you cannot use user's credential to verify other mailbox.

However, if you add full access permission at the mailbox level, you can archive your goal. For your reference:
Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User administrator -AccessRights FullAccess

I've tested creating outlook profiles for users using the admin credentials and this works. As per Allen's reply, you need to run the below command:

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User administrator -AccessRights FullAccess
