Veritas NetBackup™ for Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide

To configure the account for NetBackup Exchange operations (Exchange 2007)

1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, select the Users directory.
2. Right-click on the Administrator account, click Copy, and create an account for NetBackup.

   Create a user account that has a mailbox with a unique name. A unique name is one that does not already exist within the Exchange Organization. This name cannot be contained as a set of characters in an existing name.

   For example: EXCH1 is entered as the unique mailbox name, and other mailbox names such as EXCH1BACKUP or BACKUPEXCH1 exist. The backup or restore of individual mailboxes or both fail.

3. After you create the account, double-click the account, click the Members Of tab, and add this account to the Domain Admins group.
4. Open the Exchange Management Console.
5. In the Exchange Management Console, right-click on Organization Configuration and click Add Exchange Administrator.
6. On the Add Exchange Administrator page, click Browse and select the user to which you want to delegate control.
7. Click the Exchange Server Administrator role.
8. Under Select the server(s) to which this role has access, click Add.
9. Select the servers to which you want to delegate control and click OK.
10. Click Add.
11. On the Completion page, verify that the delegation was successful and click Finish.
