Make myself and Exchange Admin

[awreneau]

I've looked around and not found hard info on how I can do this.

I'm a new exchange admin on Exchange 5.5 sp4, and I want to become an Exchange Admin.

Currently, Exchange is run w/ one account and there are no other Admin accounts. There is no Exchange Group that I can add myself to.

I want to create a group (running nt4 sp6a) that has Exchange admin rights so I can add users to the group as neccessary rather than use the console of the Exchange server to do any maintenance.

Any suggestions or links to a "how to"?

Create the account if applicable.
Delegate the account full exchange privs using ESM.

Install ESM on the client of your choice. Done.

Hi!
After you create a Global Group (ExchangeAdmins for example) you have to grant Exchange Admin Rights to that group to the following Containers – Organization, Site and Configuration. This group should also have local admin privileges to the server. Here is demonstrated how you can do this:
