Once installed, the agent is configured and is therefore able to manage the data on the client computer. However, you can change certain aspects of the configuration (e.g., client computer, backup sets, etc.) to manage the data in the manner that best suits your needs. Depending on the agent, you can view or change the agent configuration from the tabs that are available for that agent in the Properties dialog box.

A CSVDE filtering option is provided for administrators familiar with LDAP queries to increase performance for manual and auto-discovery operations in cases where the discovery process takes a long time to complete. Filtering objects in this way can reduce the number of objects returned from the query thereby speeding up the process of discovering new mailboxes for data protection. This feature is supported by Exchange Compliance Archiver, Exchange Mailbox Archiver and the Exchange Mailbox iDataAgent. A CSVDE filtering example is provided below, which will filter out system mailboxes residing on the SERVERNAME server from discovery operations for these agents:
"(&(msExchHomeServerName=*/cn=SERVERNAME)(!(CN=SystemMailbox{*)))"
CAUTION: Use of this option requires expert-level knowledge of CSVDE, which is a Microsoft tool used for extracting and filtering information from Active Directory. Incorrect use of the CSVDE filtering option can result in failed discovery and data protection operations for these agents. For more information on CSVDE, refer to documentation from Microsoft Corporation.
For step-by-step instructions, see Enable CSVDE Filtering for Discovery Operations.
