Domain Administrators open other Exchange Mailboxes

I'm running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003; Currently, I have several user accounts which are part of the 'Domain Administrators' group, and many more accounts which are 'Domain Users'.

Domain Admins are able to open MS Outlook 2003 on their desktop, and go to FILE -> OPEN -> OTHER USER'S FOLDER and then open any other user's mailbox and view all of their mail.

Domain Users are not able to open any other mailbox besides their own.

I believe it is possible to also limit Domain Admins in the same way, but how?

I've spent many hours already looking for the exact fix, but I have not found a solution yet which matches my situation.

Thanx in advance for your help!

Hi bilbus,

You didnt provide any more useful information than DhammikaWee - they had a complete set of instructions posted to achieve the desired result.

Yes the link was accurate, and also provided a solution, but DhammikaWee got in first, with a perfectly correct answer.


In future, it is far better to object to a recommendation BEFORE the moderators have closed the question.
