Forgot Exchange 2007 Mailbox Password
-
Hi All, I have a user that has forgot there Mailbox password. We are running Exchange Server 2007 on a MS Windows 2008 server and our DC is also running MS Windows 2008. Please let me know how I can reset the users password. I can't see how to do it via the Exchange Management Console, is there a way? Maybe a command I can run in the Exhcnage Management Shell? Thanks, Mel

I'm assuming the user was set up in exchange and active directory. Usually the mailbox password is the same as the user's windows logon. Hince, if the computer he is using is on the domain and the network, he should be able to get his email, unless for some reason he is locked out in active directory. If he's off the domain and trying to access it through outlook anywhere or OWA it should still be his user and pass for logging onto windows.

There is no way of running Exchange 2007 outside of a domain (Exchange gets it's users from the active directory). Just ask the Domain admin(s) to reset the account password.

Thanks for your reply guys. I simply got the user to close Outlook and reopen it again and the user was automatically logged back in. He had previously requested for Outlook to remember his password. When I get some spare time though I'm going to test the resetting of the password like you explained, incase this happens again and an open and close of Outlook doesn't work. Thanks again Mel
