Installing Esx 3 5 Update 365' title='Installing Esx 3 5 Update 365' />Couple of tips first though Tip 1 Ensure the account used during install has rights to create databases on the SQL instancesservers you specify during installation and can add security rights etc. Easiest option is to give the account SQL Sys. Admin privileges and then look to revoke later. Tip 2 While using the Local System or Network Service option for the accounts is the easiest, I would personally only recommend this for labtest environments. Tip 3 Again, using the same account over and over is easiest, but from a security and also risk mitigation perspective, separate accounts is what I recommend. For example, using one account for all services possibly across multiple products would mean more than one system would fail if this account became locked out. Tip 4 If using and its recommended domain accounts for the SQL services, dont forget to ensure the SPNs are registered for them. Tip 5 Staying on SPNs, ensure the data access service accounts get their SPNs registered. Tip 6 Rule of least privileges. Its always tempting just to drop the accounts into either the local admins group, sysadmin or heaven forbid the domain admins group. Hopefully this information will help with only assigning the accounts the least amount of privileges they require which will always be best practise.

An easy way to achieve this is to point the DNS client configuration on the Edge server to your internal DNS servers this may require opening a firewall port. The internal Mailbox servers must be able to resolve the Edge Transport server in DNS. You may need to manually register a DNS record on your internal DNS servers for this. There are also some firewall ports to open Port TCP 2. SMTP inboundoutbound between the internet and the Edge Transport server.
