Exchange Management Console Problems
Hi Everyone
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Exchange 2010 SP3. When I log in to the server with the Administrator account and open up Exchange Management Console (EMC) its uses the credentials of a standard user so consequently I cant make any changes
How do I revert EMC back to use the credentials I login to the server with?

Hmm, you might be able to Add a new Exchange Forest. Open EMC, right click on Microsoft Exchange and select Add New Exchange Forest. It has a check box for Use Default Credentials.

I can add a new Exchange Forest but is that really necessary. It was working fine a moment ago. It only changed when after I installed Outlook 2010 and setup a standard user account in Outlook to test with. It asked me to logon as that user and thats when it changed to use the standard user account in EMC. I tried using the administrator logon to get access to that account but it would accept the password
Hmm. Never seen that happen before. Did you install Outlook on the Exchange 2010 box?
ASKER
Yes I did
What happens if you uninstall Outlook and then log off/on.
ASKER
Ive just done that and its still using the standard users creds

Ive added a new Forest and left Use Default Credentials unticked. It asked me for username and password and when I entered the administrator credentials I can access everything again...BUT...I dont really want two 'Forests' in EMC
ASKER
Anyone else with some other ideas. I dont really want to have to keep both Forests in EMC

Sensational. Problem solved. The standard user credentials were saved in credentials manager. Changing them sorted the issue out. Thanks to all for the help
