Sorry, forgot to mention (just in case you weren't aware) Exchange doesn't store passwords. &nbsp;They are stored in Active Directory (AD), hence my answer referencing AD instead of Exchange.

Thanks John. That's what I thought. I was having a discussion with someone of dubious Exchange knowledge and they swore that one could easily extract a mailbox password.

Oh yeah, I know they are stored in AD. I should have said that as opposed to Exchange. Thanks!

Hi, <br />
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already but I wanted to make sure. <br />
As an Admin in Exchange, is there any simple or even not so simple way to get a users password by either using EMS or EMC? I don't think there is.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
