Do not alter the logon that the Exchange services use, they are designed to use the LocalSystem context and this should not be modified.

Using Exchange Standard 2000 sp3 on W2k Sp4 server. Question regarding the various services and the Log On As account. 1. Are there any other services related to Exchange other than those named Microsoft Exchange **** ? 2. Reason I ask: all of those use the Log On As account of "LocalSystem". I had created a user account to Log On and run my SQL services for better security, and was curious about doing the same for Exhange. Anyone do that, and if so, what rights would that account require? Thanks a lot. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
