What Permissions Does the Exchange Server Toolbox Active Directory User Need?
Question / Problem
What permissions does an Active Directory user need under which the Exchange Server Toolbox service is to run?
Answer / Solution
The Active Directory user under which the Exchange Server Toolbox service runs must be a member of the following groups:
- Administrators
- Domain Admins
- Domain Users
The user can be created with all necessary permissions during the installation. If you want to create a user manually, you need to add them to the above-mentioned groups.
These group memberships are necessary to ensure that the service has the required permissions to function properly.
