Hi, We are running exchange 2003 with about 1000 user mailboxes (for each individual user) and about 100 mailboxes that are used by several users. Now my manager wants me to grant send on behalf rights to those 100 mailboxes for 20 individual users. I know I can't use a securitygroup to accomplish this task but i'm wondering if anyone knows a way for me to accomplish this as quick as possible. Otherwise I have to do 2000 actions to accomplish this. And if user 21 is coming than I have to do it again for 100 mailboxes. Thx. Ramon
Send on Behalf of is conferred through Outlook and I know of no quick way to do it. You should be able to use a mail-enabled security group of the 20 users to do that, but you'll still have to touch each of the 100 users' mailboxes. Send As is conferred by updating rights on the user object, and that is scriptable but it isn't easy. You should be able to use a security group to do that, but you'll have to add the group to each of the 100 users. -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!"

When you create a delegate through outlook, the user is added to the publicdelegates attribute of the delegating user. Delegates have send on behalf of permission. You could script adding the users to the publicdelegates attribute.
