This topic explains how to delegate permission for installing a clustered mailbox server in a single copy cluster (SCC) to a subordinate administrator or group of subordinate administrators. It also explains how to perform the delegated setup process.

Performing a delegated setup of a clustered mailbox server involves the following general tasks:

  1. Form the cluster.
  2. Create the computer object for the clustered mailbox server.
  3. Perform the provisioning for the delegation. You can provision a clustered mailbox server for a single account or for a security group. The provisioning steps create temporary server objects for the nodes of the cluster. These objects are automatically deleted when the Mailbox server role is installed on the first passive node in the cluster.
  4. Complete the clustered mailbox server installation.

Steps 1, 2, and 4 are performed by the subordinate administrator. Step 3 is performed by the administrator.

Before You Begin

The following procedure assumes that your Active Directory directory service already has the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 schema changes applied.

To form the cluster, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Membership in the local Administrators group on each node.

To create the computer object for the clustered mailbox server, and to delegate setup, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

Procedure

To form the cluster

To create the computer object for the clustered mailbox server

  1. Open Cluster Administrator and connect to the cluster.

  2. Right-click the cluster name, select New, and then select Group.

  3. The New Group wizard appears. In the Name field, enter the name of the clustered mailbox server to be installed. Optionally, enter a description in the Description field. Click Next to continue.

  4. The Preferred Owner page appears. Select all nodes that will host the clustered mailbox server in the Available nodes list and click Add. The selected nodes should appear in the Preferred owners list. Click Finish to continue, and then click OK to acknowledge the creation confirmation dialog box.

  5. Right-click the newly created group, select New, and then select Resource.

  6. The New Resource wizard appears. In the Name field, enter IP Address (<CMSName>) (where <CMSName> is the name of the clustered mailbox server). Optionally, enter a description in the Description field. In the Resource Type drop-down list, select IP Address. Click Next to continue.

  7. The Possible Owners page appears. Verify that the correct nodes are listed, and then click Next to continue.

  8. The Dependencies page appears. Verify that there are no dependencies, and then click Next to continue.

  9. The TCP/IP Address Parameters page appears. Enter the static IP address and subnet mask that will be assigned to the clustered mailbox server. Verify that Public is selected in the Network drop-down list, and that Enable NetBIOS for this address is selected. Click Finish to continue, and then click OK to acknowledge the creation confirmation dialog box.

  10. Right-click the newly created group, select New, and then select Resource.

  11. The New Resource wizard appears. In the Name field, enter Network Name (<CMSName>) (where <CMSName> is the name of the clustered mailbox server). Optionally, enter a description in the Description field. In the Resource Type drop-down list, select Network Name. Click Next to continue.

  12. The Possible Owners page appears. Verify that the correct nodes are listed, and then click Next to continue.

  13. The Dependencies page appears. Select IP Address (<CMSName>) from the Available resources list, and then click Add to add it to the Resource dependencies list. Click Next to continue.

  14. The Network Name Parameters page appears. In the Name field, enter the network name for the clustered mailbox server. Make sure that both the DNS Registration Must Succeed and Enable Kerberos Authentication check boxes are selected. Click Finish to continue, and then click OK to acknowledge the creation confirmation dialog box.

  15. Right-click the newly created group and select Bring Online.

To provision the clustered mailbox server

  1. Provision the clustered mailbox server by running the following command:

    Setup /NewProvisionedServer:<CMSName> /ServerAdmin:<Account or Group>

  2. Provision each node in the cluster by running the following command on each node in the cluster:

    Setup /NewProvisionedServer:<Node Name> /ServerAdmin:<Account or Group>

For example, to provision a clustered mailbox server called EXSCC1 for the group Installers in the Contoso domain, you would run the following command:

Setup /NewProvisionedServer:EXSCC1 /ServerAdmin:Contoso\Installers

To provision a node called NODE1 for the group Installers in the Contoso domain, you would run the following command:

Setup /NewProvisionedServer:NODE1 /ServerAdmin:Contoso\Installers
