If your environment has Microsoft Exchange, you can configure EmpowerID to inventory and enforce permissions for your Exchange organization. If you are using Exchange, EmpowerID automatically discovers the organization during the initial Active Directory forest scan, categorizes it as a Resource System, and creates a record within the ExchangeMailbox table of the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse for each mailbox within the organization. 

To work with Exchange after the initial inventory, you must:

  • Enable the Exchange Management Host Web Service on an EmpowerID Web server, enabled by default on All-In-One and Web Front-End server roles.

  • Configure the Exchange Resource System to talk to the host on the specified EmpowerID Web server

EmpowerID directs all traffic for Exchange through the EmpowerID Exchange Services Web site and application pool in IIS.

Click the drop-down arrow to select how EmpowerID decides which server to add new mailboxes to when there are multiple Exchange servers.

  • Count — Finds the mailbox store within the specified load-balancing group with the least number of existing mailboxes.
  • Custom Logic — Uses a custom load-balancing scheme that your developers create by modifying the following stored procedure in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse:
    dbo.Custom_ExchangeMailboxObjectContainer_GetByCustomerGroupCustomLogic
     
  • Quota Based — Compares the amount of storage space allocated for existing mailboxes against the value set as the maximum capacity for the mailbox store and selects the mailbox store within the load-balancing groups specified with the most unallocated space.
  • Random — Selects mailbox stores randomly.
