What is DSACCESS?
There are many components within Exchange that require access to Active Directory services, such as the information store and the message categorizer. The DSAccess component optimizes the communication between these components and Active Directory. The Exchange components that need to interact with Active Directory use DSAccess to retrieve Active Directory information rather than communicating directly with domain controllers and global catalog servers. As a result, DSAccess is therefore a very important part of Exchange. DSAccess is good for system performance, since it maintains a cache that effectively reduces the number of LDAP queries that these Exchange server components make to Active Directory. This is good for query speed as well as load reduction on both domain controllers and global catalog servers.
