Almost at every Exchange 2010 project there are headaches with properly assigning permissions over the mailboxes. I noticed that Ex 2010 store “does not see” Receive As on MDB if it’s assigned as part of Generic All permissions set. Since then I always assign them via 2 separate command-lets – not one liner like documentation suggests – and it works perfectly. All mailboxes now inherit Receive As from MDB.
Get-MailboxDatabase | Add-ADPermission -User TARGET\QMM-SRV -AccessRights GenericAll
Get-MailboxDatabase | Add-ADPermission -User TARGET\QMM-SRV -ExtendedRights Receive-As
DON’T DO
Get-MailboxDatabase | Add-ADPermission -User TARGET\SVC_QMM -AccessRights GenericAll -ExtendedRights Receive-As
Now most important is to validate:
get-mailboxdatabase DATABASENAME | get-adpermission | where {$_.user -like “*qmm*”} | ft identity,user,accessrights,extendedrights,*inherit*
This PowerShell command-let should report BOTH GenericAll AND Receive As for each MDB on the separate lines for Ex 2010 store to honor it and inherit down to each mailbox.
