Symptoms

Assume that you use Outlook Anywhere to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The Exchange Server 2007 server has Update Rollup 6 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed.

Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles one of the following when you try to change the distribution list membership in Outlook:

Changes to the distribution list membership could not be saved. You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation on this object.

The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. Unable to activate send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
