Once you completed the rights, log off and log back on for it to take effect. You should be able to see and use the export command.

Ok , instead of a group, could I assign rights to a user instead of a group?

Yes, you can choose one user but it makes administration easier for a group.

ASKER

Thanks,

sorry if this sounds dumb, would I use our administrator group (called administrator) to do do this?

We really only use one account to admin exchange
