Firstly hope that System Attendant and other Microsoft services are running on the Exchange servers.
Can the users open their mailbox in OWA ?
Any issues with Outlook ?

Hi Rancy
Yes, System attendant and all the Exchange services are running.
Users can open their maiboxes in Outlook and OWA.
There are no issues with Outlook.

Thanks
Can user see or open that additional mailbox in Outlook ?
Check the "Full Mailbox Access".
Do you have one or multiple Exchange server ? Hope both users\mailboxes are on the same Server.

in outlook web access you cannot open additional mailboxes.

OWA only allows you to open your own mailbox nothing else.

If more mailboxes are required to view this is only possible via outlook NOT outlook web access
Yes, the user can see the additional mailboxes in Outlook.
Yes, Full Maibox Access was enabled.
I have one Exchange server.

Opening other users Inboxes/Mailboxes using OWA 2010

Please check the article.

But I use to be able to open additional mailboxes.  This error just happened a few days ago.
Can the user himself open OWA ..... what i mean is that with the Additional account can you Open OWA ?

- Rancy
yes, the user himself can open OWA; the error code occurs when the user clicks on their name in the upper right hand corner of OWA, and enters another users name under Open other mailbox. This function use to work.
Does the other open if you try just to open some specific folder ?

- Rancy
Sorry, didn't realise u were using exchange 2010....

Previous versions u couldent
@mo_patel: Sorry to disappoint you - since E2000 versions you could open additonal mailboxes (Exchange 5.5 version couldn't help impersonating another account cause of Webdav restrictions) - wake up !!!!!!

Exchange_Geek
Ah and i forgot to mention you could open additional mailboxes using webmail and OL since E2000 version.

Exchange_Geek
What's interestin,  the user can see the other person authorized mailbox in OWA listed under their own; but, cannot open the same one and gets the above error.  I guess they will have to not open it and only view whats listed in the mailboxs authorized to view.
As i said earlier can they view specific folders like only try to view "Inbox" .... you can see the article i shared :)

what is the current SP and RU for Exchange 2010 ?

- Rancy
Sorry Rancy ,yes they can see the folders.
It's RU 4 SP2

Thanks
I dont know if its a BUG but it doesnt happen this way .... have to wait to be true ... always wait for some time before you get to the latest RU or SP and check peoples feedback or issues faced.

- Rancy
yes I should have  It happened after I installed the new RU.
:) .... i guess what we can do is wait for next RU .... check what all it fixes and only if required than install it ?

Can you tell me if you have all RU's for Exchange 2010 SP2 ?

- Rancy
yes I have all RUs.  Should I uninstall this last one RU4?
