Granting Account Operator access to an Exchange 2003 admin

We are grappling with the issue of providing a minimum level of access to an Exchange 2003 admin located offshore with permissions to perform all functions of an Exchange 2003 admin. We use Active Directory and Windows 2003 servers. We do not want to give Domain admin access. Is Account Operator an acceptable alternative?

My understanding is that using Account Operator would allow this to work, at least for administering the user-specific properties of an Exchange client.
