SUMMARY
This article describes how to determine if Microsoft Windows NT accounts are attempting to open mailboxes in Exchange Server.



MORE INFORMATION
To view this information, follow these steps:


 * 1) Start the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.
 * 2) In the console tree, double-click Servers, right-click the server object, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Diagnostic Logging tab, and then in Services, click MSExchangeIS - Private.
 * 4) In Categories, click Logons and Access Control, and then set the logging level to Maximum.
 * 5) Click OK to apply the settings. You do not have to restart any of the services for event messages to be logged.

Once the logging level is set, view the application event log in Event Viewer. Four different events messages report information about Windows NT accounts that are accessing mailboxes:

 An event 1009 message indicates that a Windows NT account has logged into a particular Exchange Server mailbox:

Event ID: 1009

Event Type: Success Audit

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Private

Event Category: Logons

Description: DOMAIN\User1 logged on as /o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Recipients/cn=User1.

 An event 1013 message indicates that an account has opened its primary mailbox, and that it has opened an additional mailbox. This message does not report if the account has opened any folders or messages. To find this information, you can check mail client permissions on folders in the client program by getting the properties of folders in the client and checking the Permissions tab. You can also check the Permissions tab on the properties of the mailbox object in the Exchange Administrator program to see if any additional accounts have been given direct or inherited permission to the mailbox:

Event ID: 1013

Event Type: Success Audit

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Private

Event Category: Logons

Description: DOMAIN\User1 was validated as /o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Recipients/cn=User1 and logged on to /o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Recipients/cn=User2.

 An event 1016 message indicates that a Windows NT account accessed an Exchange mailbox, but that it is not the primary account for that mailbox. This event message is logged regardless of the diagnostic logging level:

Event ID: 1016

Event Type: Success Audit

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Private

Event Category: Logons

Description: NT User DOMAIN\User1 logged on to User2 mailbox, and is not the primary Windows NT account on this mailbox.

 An event 1029 message indicates that a particular mailbox was unable to gain access to a folder after it logged into another mailbox. To determine why this mailbox was denied access, use the Exchange Administrator program to determine which permissions have been set in the administrator and the client computer:

Event ID: 1029

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Private

Event Category: Access Control

Description: /O=ORG/OU=SITE/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER1 failed an operation because the user did not have the following access rights:

'Create Subfolder'

The distinguished name of the owning mailbox is /O=ORG/OU=SITE/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER2. The folder ID is in the data section of this event.



For the preceding event messages, User1 is accessing User2's mailbox. User1's Exchange mailbox is using DOMAIN\User1 as the primary Windows NT account. User2's mailbox is using DOMAIN\User2 as the primary Windows NT account.
