- Create a new user account (CatManAdmin) in the active directory (or on o365) and give it a mailbox. This is the service account that we will refer to as “the CatManAdmin” or “the CatManAdmin account”. If not on O365, give it a local domain smtp email reply address. (not your internet domain name)
(create a new account, do not copy an existing one. Membership of the group Domain Users is all it needs.) - Download the CatMan_EWS.zip file and extract it to a folder on any 64 bit computer or server that will not be shut down while Exchange server is being used. You can copy it to the Exchange server itself but that is not a requirement.
- Run the following command in the Exchange Shell :
