Re: Read only permission to a user's mail box via Active Directory

My experience is that the best way to do this is to restore the database to
your recovery server and grant rights to the person who needs to peruse the
mail. Then set up Outlook with a profile, and let this person (it really
shouldn't be the administrator doing the poking around but the person from
corporate security or a manager) poke around in the mailbox to his heart's
content.

Is there a way to grant Read only permission to a user's mail box via
Active
Directory. Sometimes administrators need access to a users mailbox without
the users knowing. If permissions are given via outlook the user can find
out
and remove permissions. In the past I gave the administrator Full mailbox
access (User Properties > Exchange Advance > Mailbox Rights), but with the
administrator can then delete mail. I have searched the web and Microsoft
support and can't find how to give just read permissions via AD. I have
also
tested giving a user read permissions in mailbox rights but this did not
work.
