Setting Up Source/Target Agent Host Account

Setting Up the Agent Host Account

This section describes how to set the required permissions for the Agent Host Account used by Migration Manager for Exchange agents. This account is used to install and run Migration Manager for Exchange agents on agent hosts and to access the license server. The required privileges for the Agent Host Account are as follows:

• Membership in the local Administrators group on the license server (unless alternative credentials are used for the license server). If server is located in another trusted forest, the account should have local Administrator permissions on the license server
• Local Administrator permissions on the agent host server.
• Permission to create, read and write SCP in domain where agent host resides. The SCP object is located in the CN=Exchange Migration Project,CN=QmmEx,CN=Migration Manager,CN=Quest Software,CN=System,DC=eternity,DC=<...> ,DC=<...> Active Directory container.
• The db_owner role on the SQL server where the database resides. Note that this permission is required if you use Windows authentication option for connecting to SQL Server.

To set up the Agent Host Account, perform the steps described in the related subtopics.

Changing the Default Target Agent Host Account

The default Target Agents Host Account (initially displayed on the Default Agent Host page of the Exchange server Properties) is set when you add the target organization to migration project (see the Registering Source and Target Organizations section of the Migration Manager for Exchange User Guide for details).

If necessary, you can change the default Target Agent Host Account by clicking Modify on the General | Default Agent Host page of the corresponding target server properties in the Migration Manager for Exchange Console.

To go on using the default Target Agent Host Account for Exchange migration, grant the permissions required for Exchange migration to this account (see the next steps).

2. In the left pane click System Tools | Local Users and Groups | Groups.
3. Right-click the Administrators group and click Add to Group.
