Prerequisites for the Exchange Mailbox Agent User Mailbox EWS On-Premises

Applies to: User Mailbox

You can archive and restore Exchange User Mailbox using Exchange Web Services (EWS) on-premises. In this procedure, you can configure the Exchange Mailbox Agent User Mailbox using EWS on-premises.

Note

EWS On-Premises is supported from Service Pack 16 with Exchange Server 2019 only.
Service Pack 16 does not support cleanup operations.
Microsoft Outlook is required only if you want to restore data to PST file and MSG file. In this case, Microsoft Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and above must be installed. For more information see, Description of Microsoft Office 2013 Service Pack 1(SP1).

Procedure

Assign EWS backup rights to the user which acts as the service account to back up the mailboxes.
1. Open Exchange PowerShell and type the following cmdlet.
2. To assign impersonation rights to the user, type the following commands:
```
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "View-Only Recipients" -User "Service Account"
```
```
 
New-RoleGroup -Name "ExchangeonPremisesBackupGrp" -Roles "ApplicationImpersonation" -Members serviceaccount1, serviceaccount2
```
  where:
  - ExchangeonPremisesBackupGrp is a unique name of the new role group.
  - serviceaccount1 and serviceaccount2 are service accounts.
    
    Note
    
    If the Role Group is already created with Application Impersonation rights, then the user can be added to that group and can be used as the EWS Service account.
```
 
Add-RoleGroupMember "ExchangeonPremisesBackupGrp" -Member ServiceAccount1
```

```
