Preparing the Exchange Server for the Backup Agent

Creating the Backup Agent Service Account on Windows NT

To use the Backup Agent to back up individual mailboxes and folders, you must
first prepare the Microsoft Exchange Server for the Backup Agent by completing
the steps in the following overview. This chapter provides more information
about the necessary steps.
1. Create a Backup Agent Service Account on the Windows server.
2. Create an Exchange mailbox for the Backup Agent Service Account.
3. Assign the appropriate permissions to the mailbox.
Note: You can automatically create an account. Refer to "Configuring the
Backup Agent" later in this chapter. However, if you want to manually create the
account or want more control in the way the account is created, follow the steps
in the procedures on the next three pages.
To create the Backup Agent Service Account:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs, Administrative Tools (Common),
User Manager for Domains.
2. From the User menu, select New User.
3. Enter a user name and password.
4. Select the option Password Never Expires.
5. Click Groups to specify the group assignments for the new account. Select
Administrators from the list at the right, click Add, and click OK.
Note: If this Exchange server is a Primary or Backup Domain Controller, the
user should be a Domain Administrator as well. Domain Administrator
should also be selected as the primary group for the user.
