The Exchange 2003 and 2000 System Manager

The Situation:

You have navigated to the Exchange 2003 System manager and now you want to change permissions for objects in your Exchange Organization.

The problem:

Exchange 2003's System Manager does not display the Security Tab, so you cannot modify the permissions.  The default position is that when you check any of the Exchange Organization objects, there is no Security Tab.

The solution - Security TabShowSecurityPage Registry setting DWORD

To display the permissions tab, make this change to the registry.

  1. Here is the correct path to navigate:
    HKEY_Current_User\Software\ Microsoft\Exchange\ExAdmin.
  2. Once you reach the above section of the registry you need to create a DWORD called ShowSecurityPage.
  3. A value of 1 (Numeric one) means on, whilst 0 (Zero) means off.
  4. Close the Exchange System Manager, then reopen (no need for a reboot).

 

Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset v10Engineer's Toolset v10

The Engineer's Toolset v10 provides a comprehensive console of utilities for troubleshooting computer problems.  Guy says it helps me monitor what's occurring on the network, and the tools teaches me more about how the system literally operates.

There are so many good gadgets, it's like having free rein of a sweetshop. Thankfully the utilities are displayed logically: monitoring, discovery, diagnostic, and Cisco tools.  Download your copy of the Engineer's Toolset v 10

Registry learning points

  • The area of the registry to navigate is the HKEY_Current_User (not the HKEY_Local_Machine.
  • ShowSecurityPage does not exist so you have to create it rather than edit an existing entry.  Also ShowSecurityPage is all one word, no spaces.
  • This a DWORD and not a REG_SZ (String value)

 

Security Tab - Missing Exchange Security Tab Setting ON
 

 Default Situation

  

What we want - Security Tab

Summary

by making a careful change to the registry, you can make the Exchange System Manager display the security tab.  Once the tab is displayed you can amend permissions and delegate roles within your Exchange Organization.
