Installing Exchange Administrator on PC

[n2nuk]

Hi all,

Is it possible to download a console version of the exchange administrator to install on our PC's in the ICT team?

Presently we have to use PC anywhere to access the exchange box to maintain exchange mailboxes etc..

many thanks

Wack in the exchange 5.5 CD, do an install as you would to install the the actual server. During the course of the install you can uncheck all the options just leaving the exchange administrator.

Make sure you also service pack it to the same level as your server.

Hi,

Thanks for that, I have now installed the administrator program from the CD, unfortunately when I try to connect to the exchange server I get a error 'INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_RIGHTS' as the exchange server is sitting on a different domain to the one I am logged onto I tried it with the domain_name/server_name but know I get the error message 'DS_E_COMMUNICATIONS_PROBLEM'.

Any ideas?

thanks
Naz

It's because the account you're logged in as to run Admin isn't permissioned in the Exchange directory.

Sorry, this is going to sound like a dumb question...
How do I go about setting the permission level?
The reason I ask is that I don't have a security tab on the 'exchsrvr' folder to add/amend permission levels.
I have administrator access to the root of this drive as I belong to administrator group., and am setup with domain admin privileges on both domains.

thanks

naziern,

use exchange admin and select properties for your "organization", "site", and "server". Within the permissions tab, add "permissions admin" rights for the user you use to make the changes you make. Good Luck!

Why not use the run as command?
