I am monitoring event id 1016, mailbox access and we get a lot of these daily.
Keep getting many of these ones:

Severity: Success
Status: New
Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store
Name: Mailbox Access
Description: Windows 2000 User AD\Administrator logged on to
exhangemom@company.co.uk mailbox, and is not the primary Windows 2000 account
on this mailbox.

I believe the admin account is constantly logging onto the MOM Exchange
mailbox account. I looked at the criteria for the Event rule to see if it
could ignore these events and not email. I tried to do this by using Advanced
Critieria - description - not equals - added the description text which is
same for each email. However it still emails me.

I then looked at Alert Suppression but it stops emailing once same person is
detecting logging into mailbox. Shame you cant use Alert Suppression just
daily.

Anyone got a clever idea on how to have emails sent always but ignore the
one above (MOM Exchange mailbox access).

Disable the rule and then create a new rulegroup and copy the disabled

rule to it. then associate appropriate computer gorup to new created
rulegroup

did exactly as suggested but all that has done is created new groups. I am
still being emailed too much for event id 1016.
Need to find way to filter the rule to not run the alert if the description
includes the text:

Severity: Success
Status: New
Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store
Name: Mailbox Access
Description: Windows 2000 User AD\Administrator logged on to
exhangemom@company.co.uk mailbox, and is not the primary Windows 2000 account
on this mailbox.

might try and use alert suppression based on day but not sure if possible.
Maybe only send alerts once per day using alert suppression.
unless anyone got better idea?

I'm sorry it didn't help.

Could you indicate which rule is generating the alerts?
