The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3
This article was previously published under Q239071 SUMMARY
When you run Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Manager Setup on a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), you get the following informational message after you provide the service account name and password.
Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Manager setup was unable
to assign the service account the Log on as Service right
because this machine is acting as a Backup Domain
Controller for your network. Please use the Windows NT User
Manager to confirm that the Microsoft Exchange Server
Mailbox Manager service account has the Log on as Service
right.
This message is displayed even if the service account has all the required rights.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is expected. When the Mailbox Manager Setup program is run on a BDC, it is not able to assign privileges to the account used as the service account. The message above is a reminder that you should verify that the service account correctly has the "Log On As A Service" privilege.
