Aduc for user mailboxes

I have read on another forum that for MS Exchange 2003, you can actually use active directory users and computers to check permissions for corporate user mailboxes. I.e. who has access to which mailboxes.

My question is, how? I cant see how to do it?

Thanks. Can that be installed on any workstation?
Do domain privelegs affect this. I am only a domain user not domain admin.

Amit

You can do it from other machine too. But you need to install, Exchange System tools and ADUC admin pack. How to do it check below links:

Note: You need to have rights for AD and Exchange server. Like Domain admins

I already have ADUC on my machine. I dont have exchange system tools.
How can I check if I have the ADUC "admin pack" installed on my machine already?

I can query a fair bit in ADUC about AD with normal domain user rights, not domain admin, so perhaps domain admin wont be neccesary.

>>Have you been authorized by your IT Director or Manager to work on this?

Yes.

>>2003 Admin pack

Is this the ADUC admin pack discussed further up the thread? Or something else?

I have read you can set up http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995775(EXCHG.65).aspx

Which should satisfy my requirements.

Can you please detail every piece of software (above and beyond ADUC which is already installed) that I need installing on this PC, and what domain rights I require.

you need exchange management tool and ad tool in your machine. With Domain and Exchange admin rights.
