Group mailbox exchange 2003

Posted in Tek on February 2nd, 2010 by Lazarus

Server level task

  1. Open ADUC and create a dummy user account.
  2. In user properties go to exchange advanced tab/mailbox rights
  3. Add group and assign all permissions except associate external account (NB till user logs on or mail is sent to the mailbox will only list ‘SELF’ in ACL)
  4. Go to exchange security tab (view/advanced features)
  5. Advanced/add (group)/set apply onto ‘this object only’ (top of drop down menu)
  6. Tick the ’send as’ permission

Now all group members should be able to access this mailbox

The users need to add the mailbox to their outlook client.

  1. Tools/email accounts/view or change/change/more settings/advanced tab/add mailbox/ok

(or access the same screen by right clicking mailbox/properties/advanced/advanced tab)

Now mailbox is available to user, add the ‘from’ field on the mail (from the options drop down menu)

As multiple users are working on the same mailbox its useful if they turn off ‘mark as read’ which can be accomplished by accessing a menu when you right click on the vertical grey line between the email list and preview pane.

‘Send as’ permissions in Outlook 2003

Posted in Tek on February 2nd, 2010 by Lazarus

Different from ’send on behalf of’ as the mail is sent with complete control and access rights to the mailbox. The email will not say ’sent on behalf of’.

Server level task

  1. Open ADUC
  2. Locate user who’s mailbox you want to edit
  3. Right click/properties/exchange advanced tab/mailbox rights
  4. Add nominated user to ACL and give all rights except associated external account
  5. Go to security tab (have to have view/advanced features enabled)
  6. Click advanced
  7. Add nominated user
  8. Edit/apply onto “this object only” (from drop down menu)
  9. Select ’send as’
  10. Ok/ok/ok.

On designated client add the mailbox.

  1. Tools/email accounts/view or change/more settings/advanced tab/add

Add the ‘from’ field on the email (from the options drop down menu in the tool bar)

Emails sent on behalf of the mail box now appear as if they were sent by the mailbox owner.
