SUMMARY
The permissions that you must have to install Microsoft Exchange Server components have changed in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. This article discusses those permissions. See the table in the &quot;More Information&quot; section of this article to determine the permissions that you must have to install certain Exchange Server 2003 components.



MORE INFORMATION
The following table lists the Microsoft Active Directory directory service permissions that you must have to perform certain Exchange Server 2003 Setup operations:

In Exchange Server 2003, Exchange Full Administrator permissions at the Administrative Group level permit the following:
 * New computer installations
 * Installation of service packs and hotfixes
 * Removal of most Exchange computers from that administrative group

However, there are still exceptions. You still must have Exchange Full Administrator permissions at the organization level when you install SRS or when you install the first Exchange Server 2003 computer in a domain. When the first Exchange Server 2003 computer is installed in a domain, the Exchange Server 2003 computer must set the access control entries (ACE) for the Exchange Domain Servers of that group on the organization-level object. Therefore, the user who runs Setup must have full permissions to the organization object.

Additional query words: XADM, Setup, permissions, matrix, chart
