SUMMARY

Depending on the components selected during installation, Setup creates a default directory structure that stores the Exchange Server 5.5 program files.

MORE INFORMATION

The following subdirectories are located in the root Exchsrvr directory folder:

Note: Exchsrvr is the default root directory. This can be changed during installation and thus the subdirectories appear under the root directory name that was specified during Setup.
  • Add-ins: Subdirectories for extensions to Exchange Server. The default installation contains dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) for the Microsoft Mail Connector, the Microsoft Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and the Internet Mail Service.
  • Address: Subdirectories for e-mail address proxy DLLs. The default installation contains DLLs for Microsoft Mail for PC and AppleTalk Networks (now known as Quarterdeck Mail), the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail, SMTP, and X.400 e-mail address generators.
  • Bin: Components for Exchange Server and the Administrator program.
  • Ccmcdata: A directory structure that serves as a temporary storage location to hold messages during transit. Connector for Lotus cc:Mail uses this temporary storage space to move messages between Lotus cc:Mail and Exchange Server. This directory is created only if you select to install the Connector for Lotus cc:Mail component during Setup.
  • Connect: Components for various Exchange Server connectors. The default installation contains .exe files for the Internet Mail Service, the Microsoft Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector, Microsoft Mail for PC and AppleTalk Networks, Lotus cc:Mail, and translators for other languages.

  • Dsadata: The directory database (Dir.edb) and Jet database logs (*.log).
  • Dxadata: The Directory Exchange Agent database (Xdir.edb) for Microsoft Mail for PC Networks (MS Mail (PC)). This directory is created only if you set up directory synchronization with an MS Mail (PC) network, which requires you to install a Microsoft Mail Connector component during Setup.
  • Imcdata: Working directories for the Internet Mail Service.
  • Insdata: Working directories for the Internet News Service. This directory is created whether or not you select to install the Internet News Service component during Setup.
  • Kmsdata: Working directory for the Key Management server (KM server). This directory contains the KM server database (Kmsmdb.edb) and Jet database logs (*.log). This directory is empty unless you select to install the KM server component during Setup.
  • Mdbdata: The private information store (Priv.edb), the public information store (Pub.edb), and the Jet database logs (*.log).
  • Mtadata: Configuration, template database, and log files for the message transfer agent (MTA).
  • Res: DLL files for the Microsoft Windows NT Event Viewer and the Windows NT Performance Monitor.
  • Tracking.log: Log files for the message-tracking feature of the Administrator program.
  • Webdata: Outlook Web Access (OWA) components. This directory is created only if you select to install the OWA component during Setup.
  • Webdata.bak: Backup files for the OWA components in the Webdata folder. This directory is created only if you select to install the OWA component during Setup.
