Granting full access to other mailboxes

Assure that imamsxadmin (Exchange domain) has full access to all mailboxes that should be applicable for archiving. This could be done with PowerShell commands on the Exchange servers. It depends on the Exchange server farm on which target servers this command has to be executed. As a rule, the command should be executed on each server which will be added to the ImageMaster Content Services for E-Mail configuration. Consider the following examples:

• Execute the following PowerShell command in the Exchange Management Shell for each of the mailboxes:

  Add-MailboxPermission -Identity <mailbox> -User imamsxadmin -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

• Execute the following PowerShell command in the Exchange Management Shell for all user mailboxes:1 Depending on the MSX server farm, “FullAccess” can be restricted to a subset as follows: ExtendedRight -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-Store-Admin, receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Visible

  Get-MailboxDatabase <DatabaseID> | Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox')} | Add-MailboxPermission -User imamsxadmin -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType all

Exchange has a feature that allows Outlook to automatically map to any mailbox to which a user has full access permissions. If a user is granted full access permissions to another user's mailbox or to a shared mailbox, Outlook automatically loads all mailboxes to which the user has full access. You can use the Windows PowerShell (with the option “-Automapping $false”) to disable this feature. For details see: [MS Automapping].

Note that there can be a time delay until this takes effect: Time delays for access right assignment and mailbox synchronization.
