 * Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SUMMARY
The DSAccess component of Exchange 2000 is primarily a caching warehouse for directory information designed with the intention of reducing the number of queries made to the Microsoft Windows 2000 directory service. Queries made to the directory service are expensive and the concept of an intervening cache was designed with the idea of reducing the cost overhead of direct access to the directory.

The services of DSAccess are expected to be used by several components in Exchange 2000 such as the information store, categorizer, message transfer agent (MTA), and any other components that require directory service information.

MORE INFORMATION
The DSAccess component is included in Exchange 2000 and is implemented as a .dll file, called Dsaccess.dll, located in the Exchsrvr\Bin folder.
