Prerequisite 1: Create a Security Group

Top  Previous  Next

IF you are using our other product: Add2Exchange for Calendars, Contacts and Tasks and have already created an account for the purpose, then use the "ZAdd2Exchange"  account (or whatever you named it) and skip to the next major heading Installation of FolderMatic.  If you are not, then we have included our normal procedure for our Add2Exchange Service Account below.

Tip: Do not use an existing group for this purpose. Call the Security Group anything you want, but be descriptive and be sure to make a new group.  For more information on Exchange and Security Group permissions, refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292509/en-us.

1.Open the Active Directory Users and Computers console from the Administrative Tools menu.
