Message Text

Process %1 (PID=%2). The Exchange computer %3 does not have Audit Security Privilege on the domain controller %4. This domain controller will not be used by Exchange Active Directory Provider.

Explanation

This Warning event indicates that the Exchange server specified in the event description does not have the Audit Security Privilege on the domain controller specified in the event description. DSAccess will not use the domain controller specified in the event description until this warning is fixed. The possible causes of this event include the following:

  • A recent permissions change removed the rights required for the Exchange Security Group to enable DSAccess to communicate with Active Directory.

  • Exchange groups such as Exchange Servers and Exchange Enterprise Servers were moved out of default Users container.

User Action

To resolve this warning, do one of more of the following:

  • Run the policytest.exe utility. This utility is located in the \Setup\ServerRoles\Common folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server CD. The policytest.exe utility produces a list of domain controllers and reports the presence or absence of the required privilege on these domain controllers.

    If policytest.exe reports that the required privileges are found on all domain controllers, review the System log on the domain controller to try to determine the root cause of this problem.

    If the policytest.exe indicates that the required privileges are not present, do the following:

    1. Open the Microsoft Management Console and add the Group Policy Management Editor snap-in. Then, click Browse and select Domain Controllers from the Domains, OUs and linked Group Policy Objects list. Click OK twice and then click Finish. Click OK to close the Add or Remove Snap-ins window.

    2. In the console tree, expand Local Computer Policy, Windows Settings, Security Settings and Local Policies. Under Local Policies, click User Rights Assignments.

    3. In the results pane, double-click Manage auditing and security log. Verify that the Exchange Servers group is listed.

  • Make sure that the Exchange server is still a member of the Exchange Domain Servers group.

  • Make sure that the group permissions are inherited by the Microsoft Exchange computer account.
