Hello, I need to run a script like the following to get a list of mailboxes and their sizes on my Exchange 2003 servers using WMI. We have 4 servers and about 4000 users. strServerName = "mailserver01" strE2K3WmiQuery = "winmgmts://" & strServerName & "/root/MicrosoftExchangeV2" set lstMailboxes = GetObject(strE2K3WmiQuery).InstancesOf("Exchange_Mailbox") for each mailbox in lstMailboxes strReport="" strReport=mailbox.MailboxDisplayName & "," & mailbox.Size & "," & mailbox.TotalItems wscript.echo strReport next Since I'm paranoid - and a contract worker - I wanted to create a dedicated user with the least permissions needed to run the script. However, it seems that although the user doesn't need any Exchange administrator permissions, it needs local Administrator permissions on each Exchange server. Otherwise I get a permission denied on the GetObject (800A0046). Is that correct? Also, can a script like this do any damage? Thanks, - Alan.
