Re: Delegating Echange Full Admin Roghts

I am doing just that, logged in with an account that has exchange full admin
rights, and trying to delegate, at the end of delegation i get an error
saying "the account has to be a member of a local admin group in order to
fully administer exchange server". Nopw the account stayes in the delegation
window, but not in the security tab on the servers.

Thank For you help
VB

What specifically didn't work? The delegation? You can only delegate
rights to other accounts using an account that is already an Exchange Full
Administrator. If you are signed on as yourself (even if you are a domain
admin), and trying to delegate Exchange Full admin rights to your account,
it won't work. When you do the delegation, look at which other accounts
already have Exchange Full Admin rights, and sign on as one of those
accounts.

Thanks for the info, i will consider this going foward, yet the issue at
hand
is that I cannot delegate admin rights to a user.

In that case, in addition to delegating Exchange Admin rights (Full Admin
really isn't needed), typically you need Send As and Receive As
permissions
on the mailbox stores. Coincidentally, when you delegate Full Admin
rights,
an inherited Deny is placed on the mailbox stores for that user, so
you'll
have to modify the Deny and explicitly set an Allow fo that user account.
This is set on the Mailbox Store properties, Security tab.

On another note, why do you want to perform mailbox-level backups? What
do
you feel it will gain you over a traditional online backup? Sure, it
lets
you restore individual mailboxes (or individual items) if needed, but at
what cost? Mailbox level backups (lovingly refererred to as Brick level
Backups) typically vastly increase the time and amount of tape needed for
a
backup. Since Exchange 2003 has both deleted items retention and deleted
mailbox retention, along with the Recovery Storage group, the usefulness
of
BLB's has vastly declined.

What exactly is your backup service acount trying to back up? Are you
trying to back up individual mailboxes (guessing)?
