Permission to grant Mailbox Access in AD
Hi, Our Help desk group in AD has rights to grant a customer access to another persons mailbox however after checking all groups they are a member of with a test account, I cannot locate where this permission is coming from. Could you please advise where I should be looking to prevent this as we do not want them to have this high level of access. What would be the cmdlet on the management shell to remove this? And what is the cmdlet for me to verify a users effective permissions. Thankyou

Can you specify the version of Exchange that you are using? Also, a common security hole is the BlackBerry service account. Many companies give this account out so that help desks can manage activations and re-activations, but these accounts also have mailbox access to all users. If you have a BES environment, I would look into the service account and how it is used ASAP.fr3dd
