The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry on the Exchange Server computer to determine if the list of users who are allowed to log on to the Exchange information store has been limited:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\Logon Only As

If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the Logon Only As registry value present, a warning is displayed.

The Logon Only As registry value is a multi-string value (REG_MULTI_SZ) that contains the list of legacyExchangeDN attributes for the accounts that are authorized to log on to the Exchange information store. This registry value, which is not present by default, is typically added during periods of troubleshooting, maintenance, and mailbox move operations.

Important:
This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to restore the registry, view the "Restore the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.

To correct this warning

  1. Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.

  2. Navigate to:

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem

  3. In the right-hand pane, delete the Logon Only As registry value.

  4. Close the registry editor and restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service for the change to take effect.
