How would you prepare the AD Schema in advance before installing Exchange?

Part of the Exchange installation is to run ForestPrep. ForestPrep extends the AD


schema by adding Exchange-specific properties. If you just start the Exchange
setup, it guides you right through this step.

What type or permissions do you need in order to install the first Exchange server
in a forest? In a domain?
How would you verify that the schema was in fact updated?
Exchange Full Administrator at organization Level and Local machine Administrator
Permissions
You need Schema Admin, Domain Admin and Enterprise Admin Permission.

That can be check by accessing the Active directory. When you create new user, you
can see four more attributes or tabs in the user properties. That means the schema
has been updated.

What type of memory optimization changes could you do for Exchange 2003?
How would you check your Exchange configuration settings to see if they’re right?
Add /3GB switch to boot.ini file and you can use upto 3GB memory instead of 1GB by
default.

Once your exchange server configuration is done run the tool EXBPA.exc .This will
give you the correct ficture of your exchange organization.

How can you grant access for an administrator to access all mailboxes on a specific
server?
What is the Send As permission?
1. Start Exchange System Manager.

2. Drill down to your server object within the appropriate Administrative Group.
Right-click it and choose Properties.

3. In the Properties window go to the Security tab.

4. Click Add, click the user or group who you want to have access to the mailboxes,
and then click OK.

5. Be sure that the user or group is selected in the Name box.

6. In the Permissions list, click Allow next to Full Control, and then click OK.

Note: Make sure there is no Deny checkbox selected next to the Send As and Receive
As permissions.

7. Click Ok all the way out.

“Send As” allows one user to send an email as though it came from another user. The
recipient will not be given any indication that the email was composed by someone
other than the stated sender.

“Send As” can only be granted by a system administrator. “Send on Behalf of” may be
more appropriate in many situations, it allows the recipient to be notified both
who the author was and on who’s behalf the email was sent. (See How to grant Send
On Behalf Of permission.)

The following procedure will allow system managers to grant users the ability to
send as another:

Log onto the server running Exchange.


Run Active Directory Users and Computers.
Under the “View” menu ensure that “Advanced Features” is ticked.
Find the user’s account that you want to be able to send as, and open up the
account properties.
Select the “Security” tab.
Click [Add …] (under “Group or user names”) and add the user (users or group) that
is to be granted permission to send-as this account.
For each account added, highlight the account under “Group or user names” and in
the “Permissions for …” window grant the account “Send As” permission.
Click [OK] to close the account properties dialog.
