Is it possible as the an admin with view all mailboxes permissions to get a list of all accounts, I currently have to export a list of all mailboxes and I do not know which mailboxes have been deleted or added, and I only have webdav admin access, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, are you talking about Exchange 5.5 or 2000/2003?

I didnt think you could do webdav on 5.5? I was alking about 2000/2003 is it possible to use webdav on 5.5?
No you cant use WebDAV on Exchange 5.5. You might want to take a look at the pfdavadmin tool which you can download from Microsoft. This tool uses Webdav and allows you to look at all mailboxes on a server and do a bulk export of permission set on mailbox folders. You should keep in mind this doesn't include permissions that have been setup in Active Directory such as Send As/Recieve As rights or those that are configured though the Mailbox rights Tab. To retrieve these permission you need to query Active Directory via LDAP.

what is the actually webdav query that will let me know what permissions I have access to? for example if I am an admin user, how would I get the list of account that I have read access to? in the list I just need to know their web dav root folder url
Hello, you can't do that query directly. You must get the security descriptor for all folders and then check security descriptor manually. The best thing would probably be a hierachical search of the public folder tree (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_scope.asp). Retrieve the http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/security/descriptor property and parse the result (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/exchangesvr.asp and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/storperm.mspx). To ease this, I have just updated my InfiniTec.Exchange package that contains the functionality you need: Do a hierachical search of the public folder store and retrieve the security descriptor. The security classes parse the descriptors and map those aces to Outlook permissions. Best regards, Henning Krause ------------------------ Try my new WebDAV component for Exchange.
