Re: Exchange rights within SYSTEM account

To execute a query against the Exchange_Mailbox WMI class a user must have
at least delegated View Only Admin rights. What I would suggest you do is
instead of trying to run the job under the system context create a user for
this purpose then delegate it view only admin rights and then set the job to
run as this account. (you need to be carefull of your password expirations
with this account)

Cheers

Hi all,

I am having a problem with scripting and no ammount of google-ing has
come up with a solution as yet. I have a script which emails me a list
of Exchange mailboxes and their sizes. The script runs perfectly fine
if I login to the server with the admin account, it is based on
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa144767.aspx
with a bit of emailing code wrapped around it.

However when I install the script using the AT API for Scheduled
Tasks, it doesnt seem to return any instances of Exchange_Mailbox. The
script runs and emails me a blank log.

How do I get it working under the "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" account (this
is what runs under the schduled tasks)?

It is a standard Exchange 2003 setup running on Windows 2003 SBS.

Thanks
Chris
