Configuring Exchange Management

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.
