To deploy Directory Sync Pro on the Quest Windows Server, an AD account with Server Administration rights must be able to log on to the server interactively. The account must be able to run programs with Administration-level access on the target Exchange Server and specifically be able to open the Exchange Management Shell (PowerShell).
The following setup for the service account is recommended:
Active Directory
- Minimum membership of Domain Users (least privilege) built-in security group
- Read & List Contents rights to "Deleted Objects" container. You may follow these steps if your account is not a Domain Administrator or equivalent (see KB892806):
- Using a domain admin account, open a command prompt and confirm the successful execution of the following commands:
- dsacls "CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=com" /takeownership
- dsacls "CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=com" /g Domain\ServiceAccount:LCRP
- Full Control rights to destination OU in Active Directory
Exchange
- Administrative rights to Exchange
SQL Server
- Create a new login in the SQL Server Management Studio. In Server Roles, grant public and sysadmin rights (you may remove these rights after the database has been created). In User Mapping, select the Dirsync database and grant public and database owner rights.
