Explanation

Administer Information Store grants the BESAdmin account the Exchange store-level administrative rights needed to open and relay messages from user mailboxes within the Exchange Information Store - this is the foundational permission BES requires to act as an intermediary for BlackBerry users' outgoing mail.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (ViewOnlyAdmin): Read-only admin access; grants no ability to interact with or relay messages through mailboxes.
• B (Receive As): Allows reading incoming mail from a mailbox but does not grant authority to send or relay outgoing messages.
• C (Send As): A per-mailbox-level delegation right, not a store-level Exchange permission - BES needs broader Information Store access, not individual mailbox delegation.
• E (DomainAdmin): A Windows Active Directory role, not an Exchange-specific permission; granting it would be overly broad and is not the mechanism Exchange uses for mailbox store access.

Memory tip: Think of the Exchange Information Store as the "vault" holding all mailboxes - to manage and relay mail through it, BES needs the "vault administrator" key: Administer Information Store. If you see BES + Exchange + permissions, go straight to store-level admin, not individual mailbox rights like Send As or Receive As.
