Re: ExBPA scan under different accounts
Currently, we do require this. When we are checking the connectivity and
permissions, we do a query against the AD to get the list of Exchange admin
groups and servers so we can populate the server list that appears on the
scan options screen. We are using the AD credentials to do this query.
We really should be using the Exchange credentials instead (when we are
actually doing the scan, we use Exchange credentials for that logic). I
have created a bug to track this fix, and we should have it in our next
binary update (I don't have a firm date for when that might be, however).
Sorry for the inconvenience, James. You are going to have to work around it
for now (by giving the AD creds view permissions to the Exchange org, or
some other equivalent). It's interesting that no one has reported this
issue before.
