Take the 2-minute tour ×  So I created a new user, put in the
normal details, said yes to create mailbox, then tried to share
with someone. After an hour of battling cached mode etc etc, I
thought to check the permissions of someone else.  Normally
under exchange advanced, mailbox rights, you would have a bunch
of items: administrator anon logon domain admins everyone mail
ops SELF etc  But this one only had SELF!  So my question is,
why did it fail to add these permissions (I eventually fixed the
problem by adding them in myself)?  share|improve this question

Exchange server only syncs with AD every few hours. The delay is
tuneable. It might just be that it hadn't synced with AD yet, so
the full permissions weren't there. You can bounce the server to
force a sync, but that's a bit drastic.  I had to set the sync
interval down to about 2 hours on the server that I looked
after, to get around similar problems.  share|improve this
