Question

How do I find an Exchange/Outlook password?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry about his username and password. You can grant yourself rights to his actual mailbox and connect your outlook to his without him knowing. You could also use a utility called EXmerge to extract all his email to a PST file and again connect it to his mailbox. It will take some configuration changes on the exchange server but it's fairly easy.

Answer 3

Spying on peoples email is also a crime. Just because the employee is being a criminal does not make it OK for you to spy on their emails.



If you suspect someone of crime, you should report it to the police immediately. They will take the necessary steps and possibly take a warrant to get access to the emails.

Answer 4

No, Everyone would be doing it wouldn't they.



Spying on someones email is NOT a crime if it is in there contract that they have agreed to. it will probably be in his contract when he agreed to the conditions when you sighed him up for work email.

Answer 5

Exchange username relates with Windows username and the only way to log in is by resetting his password

Answer 6

I know what you mean, I have had to do this alot. Here is a what I do at work and the employee will never know.



Server Side:



Go to start>administrative tools>Active Directory Users and Computers

Go to your users and right click on the user in question

Select Properties

Go to the Exchange Advanced Tab and select Mailbox Rights

Click on Add and add yourself.

In the Permissions box below add, give yourself every permission except the special permissions and external account.

Click Apply, then ok.



Outlook Side:(2003 & 2007)



Go to tools and select Email Accounts/ Account Settings

Select view/change.

Select More Setting and select the Advanced Tab

Select Add and Type in the user in question.

His mailbox is now in your outlook program.





Again the employee will never KNOW, ever. You have the right to do what you feel is right, YOU run the company.
