How make user an administrator to Exchange 2010

In Exchange 2003/2007 you were able to manage permission through the Exchange Management Console (EMC).

This has changed in Exchange 2010, now you have to open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) and under the domain name you will see an Organizational Unit (OU) called Microsoft Exchange Security Groups. You will notice several groups that were created with the install of Exchange 2010, if you want to give a user full administrator rights to your Exchange server add he/she to the “Organization Management” security group.

Exchange 2010 E-mail Address Policies

I’m in the middle of an Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 transition and when I go to Exchange Management Console (EMC) –> Organization Configuration –> Hub Transport –> E-mail Address Policies Tab and Right Click and choose edit I was getting the following message
‘the specified e-mail address policy couldn’t be edited. email address
policy created in legacy version of exchange must be upgraded using ‘set-emailaddresspolicy’ with the exchange 2010 recipient filter.’
To Solve this issue I did the following:
From Exchange 2003 System Manager
Go to Recipient Policies.
Right click on Default Policy, select property pages, and uncheck Mailbox Manager Settings.
From Exchange Management Shell EMS
Set-EmailAddressPolicy “default policy” -forceupgrade -includedRecipients allrecipients
