Question: You get an error message when the installer tries to register a DLL in the registry?

This happens when the setup wants to register the DLL for the terminalserver support. You can ignore this error during installation, first and continue the installation. Register the DLL manually after the installation has completed. First, you must turn off UAC:

Start->Control Panel->User Accounts->User Accounts->Turn User Account Control on or off->Uncheck the checkbox

Register the dll with the command:

Regsvr32 (Installpath)tsuserex.dll

Question: Should ADO++ users be members of the Exchange Recipient Administrators group?

Answer: The Exchange Recipient Administrators group has very extensive rights to administer Exchange objects. Members can e.g. give any other user Full Control rights on a mailbox, mount the mailbox in Outlook and view the contents.

Alternatively assign the "Full Control” rights on objects to be managed in the Active Directory and add the ADO++ user as a member of Exchange View Administrators. Then the ADO++ user can not modify the mailbox rights. He can do almost everything, except:

Creating Mailboxes
Move mailboxes

If the ADO++ users shall also perform these tasks with less rights in your Active Directory and your Exchange organisation, the ADO++ to full version with it’s use of a special service account may be a good choice for you.
