Can administrator change User's Calendar Permissions?

Outlook 2003 w/ Exchange Server 2003. The company owner is out of the country
and I have just discovered that he inadvertently set his Outlook calendar
permissions to allow Everyone to see his calendar (which he would not want).
Is there anyway that I, as administrator, can lock down his calendar so it
cannot be
accessed by anyone other than his assistant?

Thanks!
Bill
 
if you know his password, you can log into his mailbox... or you can change
his password and log in to make the change. I don't know if making yourself
an owner (full control) would be enough to open his mailbox directly - if
so, you wouldn't need to change his password. (on the security tab in ADUC -
may need Views, Advanced Features menu to enable the tab)

Thanks, Diane. I can change his password but he is accessing his e-mail
while overseas and is not tech friendly so I do not want to change his
password and have him see this as "another computer problem" I'll look into
the ADUC suggesstion.

Thanks again!

I looked at the ADUC and could see the User's properties (including Exchange
General, Exchange Advanced and Exchange Features) but did not see any way to
change ownership. As I said before, I'm trying to avoid the whole password
change thing because it would not be good for the company owner to perceive
that there was a technical glitch in our new system. Maybe I'm forgetting
something basic here - is there a way to access the Exchange user's folder
directly so I can modify the ownership/security settings?

However, Administrators have inherited Deny so I suggest you use a regular
( non administrator ) account to modify the permissions of the exchange user
in question.
