Microsoft’s Exchange Management Console is clearly far from a well designed system.  Sine things are put in such abnormal locations, it seems like I spend a good part of my time, just figuring out how to do something, I could do in my sleep with a previous version.

On that note, here is how to change the maximum number of recipients to display while searching in Exchange Management Console.

  1. Open the Exchange Management Console
  2. Expand “Recipient Configuration“
  3. Expand “Mailbox“
  4. On the far right hand side, within the “Action” window, choose “Modify the Maximum Number of Recipients to Display“

To grant full control to a diffrent user’s mailbox in Exchange 2010, you will need to use the Microsoft Exchange Management Console.  After this change has been made, have the user close Outlook and reopen it, the mailbox should show in the left hand side, without you having to manually add it to Outlook.

Below will allow another user to ‘Send As’ the first user and read/modify the their mail.

  1. Open the Exchange Management Console
  2. Expand “Recipient Configuration“
  3. Right mouse click on “Mailbox” and choose find from the list.
  4. Find the user you would like to grant permissions for (ie: the mailbox of the user who will have the messages sent at).
  5. Right mouse click on the user and choose “Manage Full Access Permissions“
  6. Add the user who will be able to send as the first user to this list.
The mailbox should automatically now show in Outlook after it has been restarted.
