Installing SAP Exchange Connector (SAP Library - SAP Exchange Connector (BC-SRV-COM))

Installing SAP Exchange Connector

Prerequisites

Log on to the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer on which the connector is to be set up as the account with which Exchange was installed. This installation account must:

Be a member of the domain user and domain administrative group of the Microsoft Windows 2000 domain in which the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server was installed.

Have local and domain administration rights on Microsoft Windows 2000.

As Microsoft Windows 2000 system services, the SAP Exchange Connector services require a service account under which they can be started. This service account must:

Have the mailbox store rights Receive As and Send As for the mailbox store in which the SAP Exchange Connector mailbox is created. (In the Exchange System Manager, select the mailbox store, invoke the context menu, choose Properties, and then the Security tab page. Select the relevant Allow checkboxes, and choose OK.)
Have the user right Log on as a service. (In Administrative Tools, choose Domain Controller Security Policy ® Local Policies ® User Rights Assignment. Double-click Log on as a service and add the relevant user.)

Usually the same user will be used as the installation account and the service account.

Exchange must be running during installation.

There must be a mailbox container for the SAP Exchange Connector mailboxes on the Exchange server. You can create a new container in the Exchange System Manager or use the existing general recipient container.
