I know I am so behind the times, blogging about Exchange 2003 whilst Microsoft are busy readying Exchange 2007 for it's upcoming release. But for the moment, it's what I will be working with now and in the immediate future. My company has no plans to move forward with the cutting edge, and I don't blame them for not rushing in.

So, here are some handy Exchange 2003 hints for the day:

First, how to enable to the security tab when viewing the properties of the organisation in ESM. It's something I've needed to do from time to time, when the 'delegate control' wizard is not quite refined enough:

  • Use Registry Editor to find this key in the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\EXAdmin
  • Add a DWord Value, with the name ShowSecurityPage and a value of 1
  • Quit Registry Editor
  • Restart ESM

Enable Security tab for organisation object in ESM

Second tip for the day - when working with public folder permissions, if you hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the "Client Permissions" button, it will bring up a traditional security dialog box rather than the usual folder permissions box. You can then use this to view Advanced security permissions, and be more explicit when setting the permissions for the folder.
