Ensuring Administrative Rights on Exchange 2000/2003

The Migration Utility needs full access to your Exchange system. Therefore, the user who runs the Migration Utility must be set up with sufficient rights in your Exchange system.

  1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click an Exchange Server object, then click Properties.

  2. On the Security tab, select the user account that you plan to log in as when you run the Migration Utility.

    IMPORTANT:  If you plan to run the Migration Utility from a server or workstation other than the server where Exchange is installed, that server or workstation must have a username and password identical to the one you select on the Permissions tab. Otherwise, you cannot access the Exchange server with the necessary rights.

  3. Make sure that all the check boxes in the Allow column are selected, then click OK.
