access denied error when using the message tracking center in exchange 2003

Hi,

Check the applicationlogs and see if you find errors with Event ID: 7 and Event Source: MSExchangeMGMT. This error occurs when we are lacking permissions on the Store. If so then refer http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/storperm.mspx

Are you using an account with high enough permissions?

CT

im using an admin account with domain admin privilages, exchange domain server and  exchange services

i found a error msexchangemgmt event 8 that might refer to service denied user "admin"

Check for the permissions amy be some permissions got corrupted

where do you check for permissions for this problem. i right clicked on the organization icon at the top of the tree and checked to see if i have full control and i do, im going to see if resetting it will fix and corrupted permissions.

well i did not see a way to reset any permissions without deleting the account im using to access esm and recreating it, which im kinda worriend about not getting access back if i remove myself. I have verified permissions all the way down to the mailbox store and my account is in there.

Hi,

Open Adsiedit and browse to the following location, go to the properties of the server and select security then advanced and check for the permissions for Exchange Server Object, Exchange Administrators and Domain Admins, leave the allow inheritable checked.
CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN_NAME,DC=COM-->CN=Services-->CN=Microsoft Exchange-->CN=EXCHANGE_ORG-->CN=Administrative Groups-->CN=First Administrative Group-->CN=Servers-->CN=EXCHANGE_SERVER

Note: Incase you modify any permissions here you will have to restart the MSExchange System Attendant service for changes to take effect.

With reference to the previous Post.
Incase you do not have the Adsiedit utility. You would have to install the support tools from the Windows 2003 SP server CD and then go to the support tools command prompt and run adsiedit.msc.
You can download the tool from the following location as well. Download both the files

Run this command from your Exchange sever
Go to Start....Run....type in controlkeymgr.dll
This should bring up Stored user Names and Passwords screen
Clear out any user values that are stored in here
Log off the Exchange Server and relogin using your administrative credentials and check what happens now

I dont know if i fully understand this
"Open Adsiedit and browse to the following location, go to the properties of the server and select security then advanced and check for the permissions for Exchange Server Object, Exchange Administrators and Domain Admins, leave the allow inheritable checked.
CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN_NAME,DC=COM-->CN=Services-->CN=Microsoft Exchange-->CN=EXCHANGE_ORG-->CN=Administrative Groups-->CN=First Administrative Group-->CN=Servers-->CN=EXCHANGE_SERVER"
I did open adsiedit and tried to add permissions for exchange server object and exchange administrators but i did not see a exchange server object.

fearnomore
Go to Start....Run....type in controlkeymgr.dll
this was not a valid command on my server.

control keymgr.dll (there is a space between control and keymgr.dll)

there are no users in this. should i add myself?

well i added myself and no luck

Dont add yourself...Remove it from there...if there was any cached credentials there then only do we have to remove it.
Do this:
From the SERVERNAME object in ESM, right click and go to properties then select the Security tab.
Check the permissions for the Exchange Domains Servers object. If not at Full Control, set it to Full Control.
Open the properties of the SERVERNAME object and select the General tab. Select
the "Enable message tracking" checkbox to enable the option
Now check what happens

ok, i added the full control check box to the exchange domain servers and i verified that "enable message tracking" was checked. still have the access denied message.

After doing this did you restart the Microsoft Exchange Management Service?
