thanks, but he is a Domain Admin. I know that's how it's supposed to work,
but Exchange doesn't care: it wants a local admin.

So far this is the only drawback I've found to running Exchange on a domain
controller: Delegate Control will add the user as a Full Exchange Admin but
it just doesn't work. The account cannot access any mailbox with full
access, as he can on an exchange server that is not a DC.
