SUMMARY
This article describes the permissions that you have to have to upgrade to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 1 (SP1). The account that runs the Exchange 2000 SP1 Installation Wizard (Update.exe) must have a minimum permission role of Administrative Group Administrator (the Administrator does not have to be a Full Administrator). The account that runs Update.exe must also be a Local Administrator.
MORE INFORMATION
An administrator with any one of the following permission levels can upgrade an Exchange 2000 deployment to SP1: Organization Administrator (Full or Regular), Administrative Group Administrator (Full or Regular), or Enterprise Administrator.
An administrator with only the following permission levels cannot upgrade an Exchange 2000 deployment to SP1: Organization Administrator (View), Administrative Group Administrator (View), Domain User, or Domain Administrator.
Note If you are an Administrative Group Administrator (Regular) and a Local Administrator, there are a few exceptions to the minimum required permissions:
- Clusters. To upgrade Exchange Server on clusters, you must have Organization Administrator (Full) permissions.
- Key Management Servers (KMS). To upgrade servers that have KMS installed, you must have Enterprise Administrator and Organization Administrator (Full) permissions.
- Exchange System Manager. To upgrade servers that have only Exchange System Manager installed, you only have to have Local Machine Administrator permissions.
