Active Directory group creation fails in setup
Question / Problem
I'm getting an error:
Could not add the mail archive user group to the active directory, because the Active Directory is not accessible. You may want to create the user group manually.
Answer / Solution
This error occurs when the Exchange Server Toolbox could not access the Active Directory. You can manually create the Group Account instead.
- Open the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, select the Users container
- Right-click the Users container, click New, and then click Group
- In the Group name text box, type ESTMailArchive
- In the Group scope section, select Global
- In the Group type section, click Security
- Click OK to save your group
Members of this group have full archive access rights and can find every email using the archive search.
