Mailbox rights question

Essendon

This one's from proprofs.com

Q.3) You are the manager of a small business running Exchange Server. Your boss, Jimmy, wants to allow his administrative assistant, Susie, to access his mailbox. However, he does not want to give her his user account or password, and he would like to set the permissions for her to access the box. How will you accomplish these objectives?

A. Designate Susie as a mailbox delegate by granting her Full Mailbox Access to Jimmy's mailbox
B. Designate Susie as a mailbox delegate by granting her Read Access to Jimmy's mailbox
C. Designate Susie as a mailbox delegate within Active Directory Users and Computers
D. Setup a mail forward so that all of Jimmy's mail will automatically forward to Susie's mailbox
E. Assign Susie's mailbox name (email address) as an alias for Jimmy's mailbox
Explanation:
Only B will allow for both: 1) Susie to access Jimmy's mailbox without his account info; 2) Jimmy to set permissions for Susie. Note that A) won't work because Jimmy cannot change another owner's permissions.

I labbed this, only A allows Susie to open the mailbox. Read access doesnt even expand the mailbox in Outlook 2003. Is there something I am not understanding in the question?
BTW, some questions on proprofs.com are ambiguous. Not clearly worded. Anyone felt this? But I guess, what more should one expect for free.


Edit: Might as well add another question here, instead of starting a new thread.

Q.18 ) Which of the following is true regarding mailbox aliases in Exchange Server 2003?

A. They occupy a unique mailbox in the storage group
B. They are special types of distribution groups
C. They increase the likelihood of forged email
D. They decrease the likelihood of forged email
E. They exist in a separate Information Store
Explanation: E. Mailbox aliases are stored in a separate Information Store to prevent mailbox corruption.

Does this explanation make sense? I always thought there was only 1 information store. And mailbox aliases were just a different name for the same mailbox, so that mail sent to the alias arrived at the actual mailbox?

I thought royal replied to the question

BTW, this delegation thing...Cant Jimmy set this up himself. In Outlook>Tools>Options>Delegates>Add? Also the level of access can be setup??

Essendon

When you do any type of delegation, you need to add read access for that person at the root of their mailbox before you can really allow anybody to do anything with delegation. That's probably why it's B.

For example, look at the Delegates section of my article:

Oh and I did reply before but deleted it because I wanted to re-write what I wrote but then had to leave my house. Forgot about your post till I saw the new post light up in this forum.

I think is intended in the first question that Jimmy don't want to give full access to Susie on his mailbox, this can be deduced from that:

he does not want to give her his user account or password, and he would like to set the permissions for her to access the box.

More, that can be done by means of Outlook by Jimmy and does not need to be set in ADUC.

The second question looks like an abortion.

@Royal: graet stuff man, I added Your blog in my Favorites just now.

Thank you for the answer, royal. Cleared things up.

Hey rj, just for another opinion, are you using the Sybex book for this test? Well, I did pick it up but have found it be shallow in depth and it doesnt explain things well either. I have since used TechNet, it might be a little too much for this test, but it certainly does what it's supposed to. Also gives you scenarios that you can create in the lab and learn the stuff. Besides most questions at the end of the chapters on the Sybex book are too easy.

Hey, thanks for that Webcasts link too, royal. Harold Wong is good. Atleast he's better than Michael Shannon, the guy that does the CBT Nuggets. This guy speaks so slow that I have to run Media Player at 1.4x speed so that I dont fall asleep.

Essendon, I I bought these books:
- Sybex
- MS Press
- Exam Cram

I found the Sybex better then the other two, over all the MS Press; altough it don't prepare You exactly as You will find in the exam.
For that is explained nowhere in the books above I can suggest You some links from my Favorites on which You would work around:
DSAccess for Exchange

What is a Global Catalog in Active Directory?

Even if this is for Exchange 2007:
You Had Me At EHLO... : Why you need Active Directory for Exchange Server 2007

Technet is always a great resource for understanding better all the MS stuff, so each time I need that is the place I go.

Speaking of DSAccess, this is a really good source:
Exchange Server 2003 and Active Directory

Read the DS Integration part and the DSProxy part. Most of it carries over into Exchange 2007. DSProxy was different pre Exchange 2003 SP2 but Exchange 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2007 uses the same DSProxy DLL file so the functionality is exactly the same.
