Grant Admin Full Access to all mailboxes
Posted on 2012-12-22
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

> Akhater: do I need to add/modify admin user security settings in somewhere or its enough to apply the command you mentioned?
Is there any need to restart any exchange service to make changes take effect immediately?
Can I do it with GUI instead of PowerShell?

Well I am on mobile but it seems the blog post give many options to achieve what you are looking for. Some per mailbox and some per database as I did.
He is just picking some permissions when I have genericall
Did you try mine? It should work
