Lync Connector Windows account requirements

The Windows accounts that you use to run the Lync Connector components must meet the following requirements.

Lync Connector service account

At the end of the Lync Connector installation you are prompted to provide the credentials of the Windows account that the Lync Connector service is to run under.

The Lync Connector service account must have the following characteristics:

  • Read access to the Microsoft Lync archiving database.

  • Permission to run the Lync Server Management Shell cmdlets Get-CsService and Export-CsArchivingData.

    To run these cmdlets the account must be a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins administrators group.

    Note:

    In some Lync environments it has been observed that membership of RTCUniversalServerAdmins is not sufficient to run the Export-CsArchivingData cmdlet. If you get Lync archiving database export failure errors, see the following article on our support website:

    http://www.veritas.com/docs/000025188

  • Permission to perform user queries against Active Directory, for the domains that contain the Lync user accounts.

  • Read and write access to the Lync Connector working folder that you specify during the Lync Connector configuration.

The account does not require local administrator privileges.

Lync Connector application accounts

You can run the Lync Connector Console under any Windows logon account.

The Lync Connector Service Configuration application requires local administrator privileges and User Account Control (UAC) elevation, both of which it prompts for if absent.
