Try this command Admin user = Admin1 $User = Get-mailbox -resultsize Unlimited $user | % { add-mailboxpermission -identity $_.identity -user admin1 -accessrights Fullaccess -inheritance All -confirm:$false } or Exchange Impersonation is to allow new accounts that are created to automatically be impersonated by service accounts. Setting up accounts to impersonate any user within a mailbox database can reduce your configuration overhead. * get-exchangeserver CAS_servername | add-adpermission -user <username> -accessrights genericall -extendedrights send-as, receive-as, ms-exch-store-admin * get-mailbox | add-mailboxpermission -user admin1 -accessrights fullaccess http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940846Thanks Joseph Pradeep =========================================================== If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote.

Thank you To export data from a .pst file, you must run the Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed: The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Outlook 2007 For information about Exchange 2007 management tools 32-bit download, see Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools (32-Bit). If you export data to a folder in another mailbox, the target mailbox that you specify must exist before you run the command. Exchange Server Administrators role and local Administrators group for the source server and the target server Full access to the source and target mailboxes http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964(EXCHG.80).aspxThanks Joseph Pradeep =========================================================== If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote.
