What permissions are needed for the Mailbox Restore Tool?

The user running the GFI Archiver Mailbox Restore tool requires the following permissions:

  • Executable rights on the computer running the Mailbox Restore tool
  • Access to the mailbox in GFI Archiver (source)
  • Read/write access to the Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox (destination)

Microsoft Exchange 2013 (GFI MailArchiver 2013 or newer) and Microsoft Office 365 (GFI MailArchiver 2014 or newer)

  1. Knowledge of the password of the destination mailbox is required and it must be entered manually when using the MailboxRestore tool.
  2. Ensure that MAPI is enabled for the destination mailbox (the following cmdlet can be used for this: Set-CASMailbox -Identity "Username" -MAPIEnabled $true)
  3. Ensure a public folder is available and the user has access to that public folder (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651147(v=exchg.150).aspx)
    1. New-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Name MARPublicMailBox
    2. New-PublicFolder -Name PublicFolder -Path \
    3. Assign ownership to PublicFolder from the EAC to the users
    4. Mail-enable the public folder
  4. On the GFI Archiver server, open https://YourExchangeServerAddress/owa and add install the SSL certificate to "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"
