SYMPTOMS
When you add a new account (or a group with an account) to a disabled user for whom:
 * The associated external mailbox account is set to Self in the Microsoft Active Directory directory service.

-and-
 * Full mailbox rights exist.

and the new user logs onto the mailbox of the disabled user, the new user cannot set another user as a delegate in Outlook.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because in the situation that is described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section, the Public Delegate attribute in Active Directory is not updated with the added user.



WORKAROUND

 * 1) Open Active Directory Users and Computers, and then on the View menu, click Advanced Features (if it is not already selected).
 * 2) Expand , and then click Users.
 * 3) In the right pane, right-click User A, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Security tab, click Add, select the user, and then click OK.
 * 5) Make sure the Write permissions check box is selected, and then click OK.



STATUS
