exch 2010 management access
In exchange 2003, Tech support would make changes to Exch 2003 users mailboxes through AD... Now that we just started using exch 2010, mailbox attributes are no longer availalbe in the users AD account.. Do the Tech support admins need to have access to the Exch 2010 MMC to edit users mailboxes? Any best practive advice is welcome.

Yes, I’m familiar with the management rolls... I guess Im just realizing that Microsoft removed exchange administration from AD and it solely resides in the Exchange MMC or PS... Any idea what their philosophy was for making that decision?

Thanks for taking the time to explain!
One of the advantages of this system is that when a user with limited administrative access opens the Exchange Management Console, only the tasks that they have access to will be presented to them. From the Exchange Management Shell, they will only be able to use the Powershell cmdlets assigned to the management role that they are a member of.
