Granting Full Mailbox Access in E2K7

Sometimes administrators need access to another user's mailbox (for example, resource mailboxes). The PowerShell one-liner for this is:
Add-MailboxPermission SF-Conference -AccessRights FullAccess -user admin1234
(where SF-Conference is the mailbox to assign rights to, and admin1234 is the user who gets the rights)

And here's a one-liner that will do the same to all users in the Exchange organization:

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -AccessRights FullAccess -user admin1234

I tried this and I get the response "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'AccessRights'. I have had this same situation when trying to perform other shell commands, and it doesn't make sense to me. Can't find any info on it either... the other I was trying to change size limits on an internal routing group. What am I doing wrong!?

Hi Jeremy,

You're not doing anything wrong -- it's the way Blogger was formatting my post. Apparently it's stripping the "|" (pipe symbol) from the command.

I found a way to enter it so that Blogger accepts it properly. I edited the command in the post above to be correct. It should be:

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -AccessRights FullAccess -user admin1234

(Note the pipe between Get-Mailbox and Add-MailboxPermission)

Thanks for the letting me know!
