Exchange 2010 mailbox

[Shocker]

Hi everyone

 

I just wanted to see if anyone else came across this, I have added myself full access permissions to everyone's mailbox using the EMC on the server this now allows me to view any mailbox using OWA just fine but it also added all the mailboxes into my Outlook. I have to switch off the download shared folder under the cache settings because it tried to download all emails from every account but what I was wondering is this a default setting once you have given yourself full access to the mailbox?

 

Anyone else come across this before?

 

Thank you

yes that is normal behaviour, we have set up a different account for accessing mailboxes etc.

Thank you I just thought I had missed something

If you add the permissions via powershell you can turn off the mapping:

 

Add-MailboxPermission –Identity user.account -User your.name -AccessRights FullAccess -AutoMapping $false

Or give permissions to the mailbox by the group and not the individual users, such as your admins group.

that's great thank you ill put that down that's the bit I didn't add to the end of the add-mailboxpermission

[Shocker]

ah ok I had given permissions based on individuals to myself

Automapping is on SP2 & SP3, so if you're using SP1 I'd upgrade.
