PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

Configure an administrative Microsoft Exchange Server backup account

You can configure an administrator user with the App Agent Exchange Admin Configuration tool by creating an account, or by using an existing account.

Steps

  1. In the App Agent Exchange Admin Configuration window, click Configure Admin User.
  2. Under Action, select one of the following options:
    • Create new admin—Create a Microsoft Exchange Server user account for Microsoft application agent backup and recovery operations.
    • Configure existing user—Use an existing Microsoft Exchange Server user account for Microsoft application agent backup and recovery operations.
  3. Type the User Name and Password.
  4. If you are creating an account:
    1. In the Confirm Password field, retype the password.
    2. From the Database list, select the Microsoft Exchange Server database for which the user will perform backups and recoveries.
  5. (Optional) Select Create ContentSubmitters security group.
    This option creates a ContentSubmitters Active Directory security group. This option is unavailable if a ContentSubmitters group is already created in the Active Directory. This option is available only on Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and later.
  6. (Optional) If you are configuring an existing user, select Skip Active Directory Authentication.
    This option skips the Active Directory authentication and authorization operations for the user, and only sets the user as the Microsoft Exchange Server application agent user account in the registry for backup and recovery operations.
    NOTE This option should be selected when you manually configure a user.
  7. Click Configure.
    The output window shows the status of the configure operation, including any warning or error messages.

Results

The user receives the necessary permissions to backup and restore the Microsoft Exchange Server database. View the configured user in the Properties window of the Microsoft Exchange Server security group, on the Members tab.
