Initialization of the Service Account Mailbox

Next we need to initialize the Service Account Mailbox so we can use it to use and maximize the power of FolderMatic.

You can do this in one of two ways:

On the Cloning Server:  Log off as the Domain Administrator and log on to the Cloning Server as the Service Account and open up Outlook Web Access (OWA).  If prompted  for credentials, use the Service Account.  This makes Exchange initialize the mailbox and tie it with the inherited permissions from Active Directory. When it opens, the profile is fully initialized. If you are logged into and installing this on your Exchange Server, often times to open up OWA, you can type this address into Internet Explorer: http://localhost/exchange. The actual address for your organization may be different. 

If you do not have OWA or do not know the correct address, you can log on from a workstation as the Service Account and create an Outlook profile for the Service Account.  Please do not Install Outlook on your Exchange Server or the server you have selected for synchronization. 

For more information on the power and utility of making a Service Account Mail profile in Outlook please see this section:   Mailbox Management through Outlook.
