brogyi Be sure having a working backup. 😉 I‘m keen on hearing from you after finishing your work.
Yesterday I did the maintenance. I dismounted the database and run the /mh switch check the output everything okay, clean state no waiting transactions. Starting with integrity check using the /g switch. The check was quite a time, but it found No error. I did prepare some repair cases, but I did not expect no error. I ran NewMailboxRepairRequest on all mailboxes, with all switches.
Today morning I checked the access, and it seems working fine. So I ran a PowerShell script to add the group to all mailboxes. After the script completed I picked a random mailbox and tried to open it. It did not work!
Here comes the interesting part. I do have a test mailbox who was in the test group (xch_test) for days. Steps I did:
1. I manually added the test group to a random mailbox to give full access
2. Tried to open the random mailbox with the test user – it succeeded
3. Added my account to the test group
4. tired to open the same random mailbox – it Not worked, same permission error
I did logoff from OWA, from Exchange server, login, not helping. Why is the Exchange is not aware of that my user is part of the group?
