What permissions are required for the MessageStats service account to connect to Exchange 2010
Description
What permissions are required for the MessageStats service account to connect to Exchange 2010
Resolution
Below are the permissions required to connect to a Exchange 2010 Organization.
Membership of the Exchange Organization Management security group
Be a member of the local Administrators group on each Exchange server for access to administrative shares
The account used to run a Public Folder gathering task must be a member of the Public Folder Management security group
For Exchange 2010, the Exchange server to which you connect to enumerate the organization must have the Client Access (CAS) role. However, MessageStats gathers tracking logs only from Hub and Edge Transport servers. The tracking logs on CAS servers do not include all the information that is needed for reports
To create the connection to the Exchange Client Access Server, MessageStats also requires a mailbox to which the account used to run tasks has full access rights. To grant an account full rights on the Exchange 2010 mailbox, see “Granting Full Rights to an Exchange 2010 Mailbox” in the "Prerequisites on Microsoft Exchange" section in the MessageStats Quick Start guide which you can find in the documentation folder of your software download
Read rights to the log files in the tracking log share on the Exchange server. For instructions about how to enable message tracking on an Exchange 2010 server, see the following article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997984.aspx
Exchange 2010 does not share the directory that contains the tracking logs by default. You must manually share the tracking log folder for Exchange 2010 servers
Read rights to the file system directory (local, NAS, or SAN) that contains the Exchange private and public information stores in all storage groups
