Configure a non-administrative Exchange backup account

You can use the App Agent Exchange Admin Configuration tool to configure a non-administrative Windows account to perform Exchange backup and recovery.

Prerequisites

Log in to a domain controller with a user who can create domain accounts. Creating a non-administrative domain account for creating Exchange backup users provides details on how to configure a non-administrative user with the required privileges.

Steps

  1. Create a new domain user.
    Once created, the user is listed in the Active Directory Users and Computers window.
  2. Open the user Properties window, and in the Members Of tab, ensure that the user is added to the following user groups:
    User rightDescription
    Remote Desktop Users Allows the user to remotely connect to a domain controller.
    Organization Management Allows the user administrative access to the Exchange organization.
    The user is also a member of the Domain Users group by default.
  3. Perform the following steps on each Exchange Server that you want to back up, including all servers that are part of a database availability group (DAG):
    1. Log on to the Exchange Server as a local Administrator.
    2. In Computer Management > Local Users and Groups, add the new user to the Administrators group.
    3. To apply the changes, log out of the Exchange Server.
    4. Log on to the Exchange Server as the new user.
    5. Launch the App Agent Exchange Admin Configuration tool.
    6. In the App Agent Exchange Admin Configuration tool window, click Configure Admin User.
    7. On the Configure Admin User page, perform the following actions:
      1. Select Configure existing user.
      2. Enter the credentials for the user created in step 1.
      3. Select Skip Active Directory Authentication.
      4. Click Configure.

The user is set in the registry and assigned the non-administrative permissions that are required for Exchange backup and recovery.
