Configure Microsoft Exchange 2010 permissions for the Windows account

Before you begin:

Verify the domain name in Microsoft® Active Directory®. When you set the permissions, you must match the domain name in Microsoft Active Directory.

  1. On a computer that hosts the Microsoft® Exchange Management Shell, open the Microsoft Exchange Management Shell.
  2. Type Get-MailboxDatabase | Add-ADPermission -User "BESAdmin" -AccessRights ExtendedRight -ExtendedRights Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin.
  3. Type Add-RoleGroupMember "View-Only Organization Management" -Member "BESAdmin".
  4. Do one of the following:
    • To set the permissions at the organizational unit level, type the following command:

      Add-ADPermission -InheritedObjectType User -InheritanceType Descendents -ExtendedRights Send-As -User "BESAdmin" -Identity "OU=<organizational_unit>,DC=<domain_1>,DC=<domain_2>,DC=<domain_3>"

      For example, if the organizational unit is Texas and the domain name is example.organization.net, type Texas for <organizational_unit>, example for <domain_1>, organization for <domain_2>, and net for <domain_3>.

    • To set the permissions at the common name level, type the following command:

      Add-ADPermission -InheritedObjectType User -InheritanceType Descendents -ExtendedRights Send-As -User "BESAdmin" -Identity "CN=<common_name>,DC=<domain_1>,DC=<domain_2>,DC=<domain_3>"

      For example, if the common name is Users and the domain name is example.organization.net, type Users for <common_name>, example for <domain_1>, organization for <domain_2>, and net for <domain_3>.

    In each command, <domain_1>, <domain_2>, and <domain_3> form the internal Microsoft Active Directory domain (if internal and external domain names are different). You can contact your Microsoft Active Directory administrator for information about distinguished names.

After you finish: If you create a mailbox database for Microsoft® Exchange, repeat step 2.
