Operations

Configuring Mailbox Affinity

You can configure the auto-discovery assignment method for the SRM Exchange Agent to specify the way in which newly discovered mailboxes will be assigned to the contents of specified subclients.

Over time, new mailboxes are created to accommodate new Exchange accounts. For the SRM Exchange Agent, the system performs an auto-discovery process at the beginning of each data collection operation. The auto-discovery process detects any new mailboxes and automatically assigns them to the default subclient (unless otherwise configured). This feature ensures that all the new mailboxes will be automatically be included in subclient content for data collection purposes.

The SRM Exchange Agent allows you to specify the assignment method that will be used to collect data from newly discovered mailboxes for all subclients of a particular agent. Auto-discovered mailboxes for user-defined subclients can be assigned on the basis of Ad Hoc (manual selection), Mailbox (wildcard pattern or mailbox name), or Active Directory User Group affinity.  For this agent, you must first specify the assignment method in order to auto-discover and assign new mailboxes. For step-by-step instructions, see Configure Affinity.
