Group mailbox exchange 2003
Server level task
- Open ADUC and create a dummy user account.
- In user properties go to exchange advanced tab/mailbox rights
- 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)
- Go to exchange security tab (view/advanced features)
- Advanced/add (group)/set apply onto ‘this object only’ (top of drop down menu)
- 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.
- 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.
