What are
the requirements for installing the Exchange 2000 Active Directory
Connector on a Windows 2000 computer?
MSKB
253286 has the following information:
To
successfully install the Active Directory Connector (ADC) and
configure a Connection Agreement, you must be able to log on to
Windows 2000 Server with an account that carries distinctive
credentials. The permissions that are required to perform various
tasks are described in the "More Information" section of this
article.
Initial ADC Installation
When you
first install an ADC in a Windows 2000 forest, the ADC Setup program
extends the Active Directory schema with the Exchange 2000 schema
extensions. To do this, the account that you are running Setup from
must belong to a member of the Schema Administrators group or
otherwise have permissions to extend the schema.
Additionally, ADC Setup creates objects in the Active Directory
Configuration container. This requires that the account running
Setup belong to the Enterprise Administrators group. This permission
is a prerequisite of the ADC installation process and Setup cannot
succeed without it.
Finally,
ADC Setup creates two security groups in the local domain called
"Exchange Services". This requires that the account you are running
Setup from belongs to a member of the Domain Administrators Group or
otherwise has permissions to create objects in the Users container.
If this group is inadvertently deleted, a reinstallation of the ADC
over the existing installation will recreate this group without
adverse effects to Exchange or the AD.
