SUMMARY

A user with full administrator permissions cannot use the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program to edit the Custom Attributes field specified in the Custom Attributes tab under DS Site Configuration. However, the Service Account and the account used to install the Microsoft Exchange Server can.

MORE INFORMATION

Custom Attributes are objects in the Schema. As such, an administrator must have Administrator permissions in the Schema container. These permissions do not flow down from the Organization, Site, or Configuration levels. By default, the user account used to install the Microsoft Exchange Server and the account selected as the Microsoft Exchange Service Account are the only accounts that have Administrator permissions in the Schema container.
