Re: incoming e-mail and app pool identity

Ada,

Sorry, I got caught up in a couple of things and didn't get back to this
until today.

I checked on the account that the timer service is run as, and it is running
with the same account as the Central Admin app pool. So I don't think the
timer service is my problem.

As I said in my earlier e-mail, if I create a new app pool, say WebOne, and
then create a new web app, say WebSiteOne, and then create a new site
collection at the root of the web app, then if the identity of the WebOne
app pool isn't the same as the AD account used to run the Central Admin app
pool then attempting to create incoming e-mail aliases on document libraries
fails. If I simply change the identity of the WebOne app pool to the same
account that is used for the Central Admin app pool then creating the e-mail
alias works.

So my question is, is it possible to have the app pool identity of WebOne be
different from Central Admin and be able to create incoming e-mail aliases?
If so, then where might my problem lie? See my previous e-mail for
additional information.

Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,

Based on my knowledge, it is recommended to use same domain account as the
application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration
application pool and under which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer
service runs. The account is considered as the server farm account that
you specify in the SharePoint Products and Technologies configuration
wizard when deploying MOSS in a farm environment.

The following provides the information about the role of the server farm
account:

--------------------------
The server farm account is used to access your configuration database. It
also acts as the application pool identity for the SharePoint Central
Administration application pool, and it is the account under which the
Windows SharePoint Services Timer service runs. The SharePoint Products
and
Technologies Configuration Wizard adds this account to the SQL Server
Logins, the SQL Server Database Creator server role, and the SQL Server
Security Administrators server role. The user account that you specify as
the service account must be a domain user account, but it does not need to
be a member of any specific security group on your Web servers or your
back-end database servers..
--------------------------

For more information, please refer to the following article:

Install Office SharePoint Server 2007 and run the SharePoint Products and
Technologies configuration wizard

I hope the information helps.
