5.2 Installing a Remote Exchange Driver

The driver doesn’t need to run on the same machine as the Exchange Server. However, when running remotely, the driver can run only on an NT server or member server that belongs to the same domain as the Exchange server domain. This restriction is a Microsoft-imposed NT credential restriction.

The NT server where you install the driver needs to have three Microsoft .dll files installed before the driver can run: libxds.dll, exchmem.dll, and expsrv.dll. The files are installed by the Exchange Administrator program. You can install Exchange Administrator from the Microsoft Exchange Server CD.

A remote driver doesn’t create NT accounts when a new Exchange mailbox is created. This is also because of restrictions imposed by the Microsoft DAPI API that the driver uses.
