Installation on Target Exchange Server
Peer DRS is installed on the same server as the
Target Exchange server and the target server has
two configured local drives, C: and D: This
example has the shared backup folder located on
a local drive on the target, but you could also
use a network share located on a different machine
or on the Primary Exchange server, or some other
NAS device. In any case the domain user account
that Peer DRS is run under must have read-write
access to the shared backup folder.
Requirements:
- Domain user account PeerDRS must have domain Backup Operator and Full Exchange Administrator privileges
- Domain user account PeerDRS must have read-write access to local paths, C:\Program Files\Exchangesrv\mdbdata, D:\PeerDRS\Backup\ExchangeA, C:\DRS\LogReplay
- ExchangeB must have TCP/IP access to ExchangeA and be on the same domain.
- MS Exchange Server must be installed on ExchangeB with storage group SG1 and database Mailbox Store 1 configured and dismounted.
- The account that the target Exchange information store process is running under (default is local system account) must have access to C:\DRS\LogReplay.
- If you want to utilize continuous, real-time replication then the PeerDRS user account must have read-write access to administrative network share: \\ExchangeA\C$\Program Files\Exchangesrv\mdbdata. This usually required granting domain level Administrator rights to this user.
Remote Centralized Installation
Peer DRS is installed on a separate server from the primary and the target Exchange server's name
is BackupSrv. This shared backup folder is
located on the BackupSrv host on local drive
D:\PeerDRS\Backup\ExchangeA. The target File
Copy Destination folder is the same and the
Backup Folder and therefore no extra file
copies will occur. The main difference in
this configuration is that administrative
shares on the target must be configured and
accessible by the domain account that Peer
DRS is running under.
Requirements:
- Domain user account PeerDRS must have domain Backup Operator and Full Exchange Administrator privileges.
- Domain user account PeerDRS must have read-write access to local path D:\PeerDRS\Backup\ExchangeA
- Domain user account PeerDRS must have read-write access to administrative network shares: \\ExchangeB\C$\Program Files\Exchangesrv\mdbdata, and \\ExchangeB\C$\DRS\LogReplay. This usually required granting domain level Administrator writes to this user.
- BackupSrv must have TCP/IP access to ExchangeA & ExchangeB and be on the same domain.
- MS Exchange Server must be installed on ExchangeB with storage group SG1 and database Mailbox Store 1 configured and dismounted.
- The account that the target Exchange information store process is running under (default is local system account) must have access to C:\DRS\LogReplay.
- If you want to utilize continuous, real-time replication then the PeerDRS user account must have read-write access to administrative network share: \\ExchangeA\C$\Program Files\Exchangesrv\mdbdata. This usually required granting domain level Administrator writes to this user.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that the account that any of the configured
primary and target database instances are run under must have permission to read
and write from the drive (usually a network share) where the backup or copied target
files are located. Please see the Security Model & Permissions section for more
information on security and permission requirements.
