Setting Up Web Admin
Because Web Admin is easier to set up than the Exchange 2000 Hosting Pack, let's explore how to install and configure Web Admin. Here are the steps you follow:
- Change AD to native mode, if necessary.
- Install Web Admin. I recommend that you install it on a front-end Exchange server for two reasons. First, that configuration allows single sign-on with Basic authentication and, second, it provides the Exchange 2000 components that Web Admin requires.
If you don't install Web Admin on an Exchange server, you must install the Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools and the Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) 1.21 library on the machine on which you've installed Web Admin. To install the tools, run the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Installation Wizard, which you'll find on the Exchange 2000 CD-ROM, and select Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools from the Components Selection list. The CDO library (cdo.dll) is on the Exchange 2000 CD-ROM in the setup\i386\exchange\bin directory. Copy cdo.dll to the \%systemroot%\system32\ folder on the Web Admin machine, then register the DLL with the command
regsvr32.exe %systemroot%\system32\cdo.dll
If you install Web Admin on a domain controller (DC), you also need to add Domain Users to the Log on locally policy in the Domain Controller Security Policy. Otherwise, end users won't be able to use Web Admin to administer their mailboxes. . . .
