Grant Admin Full Access to all mailboxes
Hi,
There are many websites speak about how to grant permission on all mailboxes on Exchange 2010 for admin user, but a lot of those websites have many differences with the explaination, so I would like to know what are the correct steps to grant full permissions on all existing mailboxes and FUTURE mailboxes on Exchange 2010.
Thank you in advance

From exchange power shell:
Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User 'Mark Steele' -AccessRight FullAccess
Consider users privacy before doing that, if you have a privacy policy on your org/country.

I'll consider the privacy policies.
Does that command grant the full access also to the new mailboxes that will be added in the future?

Sorry, I did't read the question carefully.
You can run below cmdlet after mailbox creation:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity UserName -User 'User_how_needs_the_access

I don't know an automated way to do that.

Get-MailboxDatabase | Add-ADPermission -user [username] -AccessRights GenericAll
this will give access to all mailboxes current and future as long as you don't create a new DB.
you will need to add permission for every new DB however

Is there any need to restart any exchange service to make changes take effect immediately?
Can I do it with GUI instead of PowerShell?
