Hi Sorry should have been more clearer. I have a monitoring software (Quests Spotlight on Exchange) that monitors the health of Exchange servers. This software runs on a different server to Exchange and runs as a special user account. This account needs full exchange admin rights. Also the exchange organisation is in a different forest, but there is trusts between the two.
