Assigning Tasks to other users

Hi,

I'm having an issue with one of our users (Exchange 2003 SP2 environment)
who is using Outlook 2002 (latest SP), when he creates a task and tries to
assign the task to another user he's receiving the message "You do not have
permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user" and the task
is not received by the end user.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is only affecting this one user?

Hi Mark

Make sure the user who the task is being assigned to has the ability to
send on their behalf. For instance, try sending an email to the user as
themself. Create a new email, go to view and select from. Put the
persons name in the from field and in the to field as well. See if the
person can send to themselves or not. If they cannot, then they must be
made a delegate for themselves. Go into the properties of the users
account on the exchange server in active directory and go to the
exchange general tab, then go to delivery options and add them as a
user to send on behalf of. Also make sure the person who is assigning
them the task is a delegate as well.
