| I am trying to delegate permission to three MS Exchange attributes in AD
to a specific security group in AD. The problem is that if I go the
Users container > security>advanced>edit>properties tab for the group I
do not see the attribute listed. The attributes are:
MSExchHomeServername
homeMTA
homeMDB
I am not an Exchange Admin but do control the AD and therefore need to
assign permissions accordingly. I can see the attribute using ADSIEDIT
but I am unsure if setting permission there would allow the EX Admins to
write to it or just give them permission on the attribute properties
itself.
How can I view the attribute in ADUC to assign permission?

| I think ADUC may do some kind of filtering. Doing the edits with adsiedit
will get you the effect you want.

Keep in mind that if you update these attributes directly, then you will lose the mailbox (if it exists).

| Correct.
Any line in DSSEC.DAT that has attribute=7 will be hidden
Any line with attribute=0 (or any attribute NOT listed) will be shown.
MAKE SURE you modify the attribute= line under the correct object class
section !!! (e.g. [user]) Easy mistake!!
File must be modified on system on which you use ADUC.
Any attribute you've delegated you should also make sure is 'visible' in
the Security interfaces by setting the line to =0 or removing the line.
I prefer setting lines to =0 because it "clearly" marks a customization
in the file (all lines in the file are =7 by default)
BACK UP DSSEC.DAT!!! It is technically open for overwrites by
patches/Service Packs.
Restart ADUC for the changes you make in DSSEC to be visible.

BTW, correction to the KB: the dssec.dat file needs to be edited on the
workstation where you run ADUC, not on all DCs.
