Exchange 2010 Special Permissions

Is it possible to give my technicians permissions to create email/windows accounts in exchange, but not be able to read mailbox content of other users? 
I hope that makes sense.

By default nobody can read mailbox content except who owns the mailbox. If your technician wants to read mailbox content then he has to grant full mailbox permission the mailbox that he wants to open. Here is an example on custom RBAC role... http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/11/21/creating-rbac-role-to-delegate-editing-contacts.aspx
You can create a custom role for technician and remove ability to execute Add-MailboxPermission cmdlet. 
Now if you want to give him this ability to grant permission and don't want to block it for some reason (if he is helping for shared mailbox permission etc...) on other mailboxes then you can give him look for
Admin Audit Log (which is by default enabled) on permission to see if he is granted permission to himself or not and if yes then you can ask him...
Now if you want to look at granular level on what he is trying to access inside mailbox then you can enable
Mailbox Audit log but that has to be enabled at each mailbox level.

  • After Exchange 2010 SP3 upgrade, UAG publised OWA is throwing a "You do not have permissions to view this folder or page" error

    Hi,
    We have an issue with our OWA page.  We are currently publishing OWA via UAG.
    We recently upgraded to Exchange 2010 SP3 and then SP3 Rollup7.  Since the upgrade, we are keep getting the following error after entering our credentials on the login page.  I've tried with every possible browser. 
    You do not have permissions to view this folder or page
    Strangely enough, the mobile phones are sending and receiving emails just fine, the phones use the same OWA link, so it's not an authentication issue, the phones login into the UAG servers with no issues.  I can see this on the Active Sessions screen
    on Web Monitor. 
    I've attempted to connect to the OWA by bypassing the UAG server, so putting in the local OWA address of one of my Exchange servers, it works... so the OWA page is up and running. 
    No error logs get generated on Web Monitor when we receive the permission error, I think this is because it's past authentication, it's on the Exchange layer. 
    Any insight would be helpful?  I'm assuming something changed on the Exchange side after the upgrade.
    Just in case, I've upgraded the UAG and TMG servers to the latest SP and Rollup packets.
    UAG > SP4
    TMG > SP2 Rollup 5

    I've found a solution; UAG requires Basic Authentication over OWA.  For some reason Integrated Windows Authentication got turned on after the SP3 upgrade.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee921443.aspx
    Turning Integrated Windows Authentication off via the Client Access OWA settings resolved the issue.  Though beware, you
    have do this on all your Client Access servers.  

  • Exchange 2010 Room Calendar Permissions are too permissive when Default is set to None.

    Help! Room Calendar permissions are too permissive when Default is set to None.
    We are a brand new Exchange 2010 shop, and have setup several conference rooms.  Many of them are restricted to specific groups to book via In-Policy Requests using Resource Booking Attendant.  The Room Calendar permissions for most
    rooms shows only two options for the Default access: None and Full Details.  Default is set to None, yet if someone opens the room calendar in Outlook (& they are not part of the In-Policy restrictions) they are able to see the full meeting details
    (even open the meeting for full details).  How is this possible when by default they should not have any access as it is set to None?  Some rooms would not be a problem for clients to see the details, but some rooms like Executive rooms need to be
    locked down so that others cannot see the room details - None.
    I also found this, although it did not make a difference.  If I create an Outlook profile for the room and login as the room calendar in Outlook, go to File, Options, Calendar, Resource Scheduling, Set Permissions I get different default options:
    None, "Free/Busy time", "Free/Busy time, subject, location" and Full Details.  Why do I have more options in this view rather than the Room Calendar Permissions?  I looked at two rooms and both Default options were set to "Free/Busy
    time", so I changed these settings to None.  Still the clients can view the full room calendar details.  What are we missing to get the room calendar locked down so it is not displaying details to everyone?

    Only the default groups and Exchange Admins have Full Access to these items, so that is not the issue.
    -MailboxFolderPermission 1RP07AWest:\Calendar cmdlet and it shows the same access I see when I open the calendar in Outlook and view the Permissions as shown below - Default is set to None.
    As I stated in my last reply the only thing that finally forced it to be blocked is changing the Resource Scheduling permissions under Options > Calendar for that room mailbox.  If I have to do that for each room calendar, it's going to
    take considerable time to change each one.  Is there a cmdlet to allow me to access and change that setting as well?

  • Best way to migrate Mailboxes with all permissions Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010--cross forest

    Hi,
    Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
    I would really appreciate if someone can direct us to the best way to migrate mailboxes and PFs with their permissions, to new Ex 2010 SP3 server. We have around 30 mailboxes, and 300 GB of mailboxes data, and 200 GB of PFdata.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards, David Johnson

    Hello,
    Firstly, you need to creat forest trust between two forests.
    If you want to move AD user account and mailboxes, please use ADMT and PrepareMoveRequest script.
    If you want to migrate public folder, please export data to PST file and then import pst file to new server.

    Inderjit

    Hi Inderjit,
    Does this issue occur on only one user or all users?
    If only one user has this issue, I suggest performing troubleshooting on Outlook client first.
    1. Please run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    2. Please start Outlook with "outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy".
    3. Please try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    Then please perform troubleshooting on Exchange server side.
    1. This issue may occured due to mailbox corruption in the folder level.
    2. Genrally we can check the mailbox property PR_FreeBUsy_NT_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR and verify the permission.
    3. I suggest re-granding the specific user permission for testing.
    4. I suggest moving the sepcific user's mailbox to another database, issues will solved by itself automatically.
    If all users have this issue, I suggest resetting the permission on Calendar folder and give the necessary permissions (Free Busy Time/ Free Busy Details /Full Details) via Exfolders.

  • Mailbox Permissions Exchange 2010 forcing mailbox on outlook profile.

    Hi,
    We currently have a user that uses outlook 2010, along with exchange 2010. He currently uses two mail profiles on his outlook.
    Profile 1 & Profile 2.
    Profile 1 consists of his primary inbox. Profile 2 consists of a few shared mailboxes, along with 3 staff members.
    When we add full permissions to the user to another 3 mailboxes 2010 makes this automatically appear for the user, casuing it to show on profile 1. Is there a way to stop this auto mapping and only add them to the second mailbox?

  • Calendar Free/Busy permissions being ignored for users migrated from Exchange 2003, fine for new users created on Exchange 2010

    I have uncovered a situation where it seems the free/busy permissions are being ignored for users that were migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
    I have the default permissions set to only show Free/Busy Time, not Details.  However if I look at the calendar for a users who was migrated from the old Exchange 2003 server, I can see details.  If I look
    at a newer user who was added directly to the Exchange 2010 server, I (correctly) only see the times and "Free" or "Busy", not the specific details.
    I verified the permissions on the migrated mailboxes many different ways (Exfolders, cmdlets, etc) and all signs point to only allow showing Free/Busy Times, but alas, I can still see the Details as well.
    My users are using Outlook 2010.

    Hi,
    Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
    Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
    If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.

  • [SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

    Hi there!
    I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
    I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
    I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
    Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.

  • Mac Office 2011 Calendar Events Moving on Exchange 2010

    Hello,
    I manage a domain environment that is fairly small. It has Server 2008, Outlook Exchange 2010, consisting of two domain controllers and a hand full of other Server2008 servers. All of these are virtualized on VMware ESXi and running off of a SAN as well.
    So that should give you a little idea of our configuration. The key issue that has been driving many people insane and I can't seem to find a resolution to is that Mac user's are having their Exchange calendar entries move. PC users are not having this happen.
    I have instructed the users to be very careful about appropriate time zones when creating the events, permissions to not let anyone else edit them. This is still occurring and I can't seem to find an answer online as to why. All of the VM's clocks are good.
    The end user clocks are set accordingly and I even began setting them static to where we are located. We have tried dissassociating the user's with this issue from their iPhone's thinking that maybe the phone was editing it some how through iCloud syncing
    etc. None of this has worked. Any other ideas or solutions would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Issue with Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2010 SP3 - Mailboxes that were auto mapped not working

    Below is  my response in another thread but creating a new one in the hopes that someone has the same issue and a solution besides mine below.
    Ever since we installed Update Rollup 5 for SP3 Exchange 2010 mailboxes that were auto mapped are not accessible. They all get the same error.
    Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange has failed.
    What I have been doing is removing the users permission, then adding them back using the noautomap switch in Powershell. After doing that, the user manually adds the mailbox and all is well.
    Just a note here, I suspect it may have something to do with the version of Outlook 2010. We are running an older version here. I think only SP1 with no other incremental updates. Office is up to SP2. Also, one of the users I was working with could not access
    the mailbox no matter what we tried but she can walk over to another workstation and open Outlook and access the very same mailbox so that pretty much proves its software related particularly with Outlook.
    I cannot reproduce the problem on a workstation (XP) with a newer version of Outlook.
    This has been wearing me out and I suspected the Update Rollup all long. Now I am confident as others are having the same problem. If you find out anything on how to fix this other than the steps above, let me know.

    Not sure why it was suggested to use the auto mapping feature to grant permissions because that is the component that is causing the issue. Also, there is nothing wrong with the auto configuration because the user can access their own mailbox just fine and
    also select mailboxes in their Outlook that were NOT auto mapped.
    With that said, here is how I fixed them all.
    Remove the permissions using the Exchange Console. Don't forget Send As
    Wait about 15 minutes. The mailbox should disappear from the users Outlook
    Open an Exchange PowerShell window and run the following command:
    .\add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1 -Identity mailbox -User user -AccessRights FullAccess
    Have the user add the mailbox to their Outlook using the manual process.
    All is well....
    If you don't have the PS script add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1, you can download it. I stumbled across it a few years ago and use it all the time. If you can't find it, just use the Exchange built in command for adding mailbox folder permissions but
    specify automap $false.
    The idea here is to grant the user access without auto mapping.

    I already posted this question to the German Exchange 2010 forum, but have not gotten an answer yet. So I hope to be more lucky in the English forum.
    Environment: Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4, 2 replicas for Public Folders, Outlook 2007 cache Mode
    Problem:
    Some of our users have a phenomenon when working with mail enabled Public Folders:
    User has the focus set to Public Folder A, an email is sent there (and correctly delivered) but remains invisible to the user. When he changes the focus to point to his inbox or to Public Folder B and directly changes back to folder A he can see the email.
    Other users can see the email directly on delivery without leaving the folder first.
    When an affected user adds Public Folder A to his Public Folder Favorites he can see that an email is delivered from the change in numbers of unread mails (number in brackets behind folder name).
    I already checked the Exchange server to see if there is a replication related problem (though the default Public Folder DB is the same for all mailbox databases). Even after a successful replication an effected user does not see the email unless he leaves
    the folder and re-opens it.
    As the problem does not affect all users having permissions to this folder I picked one affected user and tried to remedy the issue as follows:
    - deleted the existing Outlook profile and re-created it => without success
    - deleted the user profile and re-created it => without success
    We use Outlook Cache Mode (set by policy, so the user cannot deactivate it) but there is no Public Folder data downloaded.
    When I create a new mail enabled Public Folder to test the scenario with an affected user everything works without problems, he can see an email on delivery.
    As far as I know this problem occurs with only two folders (and for both folders only a few users are affected - different users for each folder) I do not know what else to do. Can someone please give me a hint where to look at? Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Klaus

    The user is caching the public folder.  When he changes the focus and goes back, it tells Outlook to update.  In my experience, I've seen that Outlook only gets the update notices for the primary mailbox, so cached shared mailboxes are generally
    rarely updated.  We have stopped caching shared mailboxes for this reason and others.  Think of the following scenario:
    Ten different users perform actions on items in a shared mailbox
    When they first get the message, they move it to a subfolder in the mailbox (so it won't be there for other users)
    Since users are working in Cached mode, they will see an out-of-date image of the mailbox - they will move the item in their copy of the mailbox, but that won't be reflected in the other mailboxes until their copy updates to the server, then the server updates
    the other copies.  Talk about being lagged ...
