Why doesn't the Exchange Management tools represent who has SEND AS permissions accurately?

Question
-
In Active Directory SEND AS permissions can be granted and then if we look at that mailbox via Exchange Tools it does not show up, yet the user granted permissions is allowed to send as. WHY?

Hi Jason,
This may Exchange Management Tool it only search for the send as permission in AD, but when you use “full control” it show as “GenericAll” , so it will not show in EMC.
When you try to check for that, you can use this command to know the user who has been granted “full control” or “send as” permission:
Get-ADPermission –identity user | ?{ $_.ExtendedRights -like “Send-As” –or $_.AccessRights -like “GenericAll”} | select User, AccessRights, ExtendedRights

Hi Jason,
Please use this to check whether the send as permission has been granted well:
Get-ADPermission –identity User | ?{ $_.Extendedrights -like “Send-As”} | select User, Extendedrights
If you can see the user and the send as right, please re-open EMC to check again for the issue.
If you cannot see it, I suggest you re-set for the send as permission, then use EMC to check again.

The Get-ADPermission is a Exchange 2010 command, we're a Exchange 2007 shop.
What we are looking for is a command that will give us a report of all users that have been granted the 'Send As' permission via Exchange or Active Directory.

Hi Jason,
Get-ADPermission is also a command in Exchange 2007, you can know more information from this document:
Get-ADPermission
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125183(EXCHG.80).aspx
You also can use this command to check in Exchange 2007:
Get-ADPermission –identity User | ?{ $_.Extendedrights -like “Send-As”} | select User, Extendedrights
If you want to check all users that have been granted the “Send As” permission via Exchange or Active Directory, you can use this command:
Get-Mailbox| Get-ADPermission| ?{ $_.Extendedrights -like “Send-As”} | select identity, User, Extendedrights

What we are finding is that if a user or group has Full Control permissions to a user object it is not part of the extended rights. So we are having to dig deeper into AD to get an accurate account of who has Send AS permissions. These groups that have permissions set this way do not show up in Exchange tools when we click "Manage Send AS permissions".

Hi Jason,
In my lab, If you grant one user (group) send as permission on one account in AD, you can see the user (group) in EMC.
If you grant the permission in AD, but cannot see in EMC, use this command to do a check, check whether you can see the user (which has been given the send as permission):
Get-ADPermission –identity User | ?{ $_.Extendedrights -like “Send-As”} | select User, Extendedrights

In your lab don't grant "Send AS" permissions, grant "Full Control" permissions. In our environment Full Control is also granting Send As permissions, and then Exchange tools do not see this.
Jason MeyerThursday, December 22, 2011 4:45 PM -
Hi Jason,
Yes, in my lab, if you grant “full control” permission, the “send as” permission will not show in the EMC.
I think the way you grant the “send as” by “full control” will not show in EMC (I checked in Exchange 2007 SP3 and Exchange 2010 SP1).
If you want to check the AD permission (full control), you can use the command Get-ADPermission.

OK, so we have established that Exchange Management Tools do not accurately represent who has SEND AS permissions. Could we add that to the bugs or features list?
We are currently trying the Get-ADpermission command to find results but so far have not had good success.

I'm running:
D:\>get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Get-ADPermission | ?{ $_.ExtendedRights -like "Send-As" -or $_.AccessRights -like "GenericAll"} | select User, Identity, AccessRigh
ts, ExtendedRights > mailboxpermissions.txtand waiting for the output now. With 20k mailboxes to go through it takes a while to complete.
Thanks for the continued work on this issue.

The results came back but the identity was cut off so running again as:
[PS] D:\>get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Get-ADPermission | ?{ $_.ExtendedRights -like "Send-As" -or $_.AccessRights -like "GenericAll"} | select User, Identity, AccessRights, ExtendedRights | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-File mailboxpermissions2.txt -Width 250
On one mailbox it appeared to give me the results I expected. Thank you for your continued efforts.
