Exchange Discovery: Optionally select a domain controller

To enumerate your domain, Enterprise Reporter looks to the domain controller. Depending on the domain controller chosen, the time it takes to perform the collection may vary. You can either allow Enterprise Reporter to choose the first available domain controller returned by Active Directory, or you can select one that will optimize collection time. In this case, select a domain controller located physically close to the cluster you assigned to the discovery, or one that you know is a fast computer.

To set the domain controller used to enumerate a domain
1
Add your scopes.
2
In the scopes list for the included domain you want to configure, click "...".
3
To use the first available domain controller returned by Active Directory®, select Automatic selection.
- OR -
To assign a specific domain controller, choose Select an available domain controller, and then select a domain controller from the list.
- OR -
To assign a specific domain controller from the current Sub-net, choose Select an available domain controller from current Sub-net, and then select a domain controller from the list.

Click OK.

Exchange Discovery: Decide what to collect from any server in the discovery

You can collect a variety of information from the computers in your discovery. Basic information from the root organization (the organization name and full LDAP path) is always collected.

The following table outlines the additional information that can be collected. Collecting additional information impacts discovery performance. Options with a high performance cost will slow discovery performance more than options with a medium or low performance cost.

 

Table 21. Exchange Discovery: Optionally collect information for the following objects
Option
Notes
Performance Cost

Mailboxes

Collects basic information for Mailboxes, Public Folder Mailboxes, and Mailbox Stores.

 

Medium

•
Mailbox subfolders

If collecting mailboxes, you can enable this option to collect subfolders of Exchange mailboxes.

High

•
Mailbox delegates

If collecting mailboxes, you can enable this option to collect mailbox delegates on Exchange mailboxes. This option excludes Mail-Enabled Users, Mail Contacts, Administrators, and Distribution Groups.

High

Mail-Enabled Users

Collects basic account information for Mail-Enabled Users.

Low

Mail Contacts

Collects basic account information for Mail Contacts.

Low

Public Folders

Collects basic information for Public Folders and, where applicable, Public Folder Stores.

Medium

•
System Public Folders

If collecting public folders, you can enable this option to collect system public folders.

High

Distribution Groups

Collects basic account information for Distribution Groups.

Medium

Permissions

Collects permissions on Exchange objects such as mailboxes, public folders, organizations, administration groups, and servers. This option excludes permissions for Mail-Enabled Users, Mail Contacts, Administrators, and Distribution Groups.

Medium

•
Mailbox AD permissions

If collecting permissions, you can enable this option to collect mailbox Active Directory permission information, including mailbox subfolder permissions.

High

•
Mailbox Exchange permissions

If collecting permissions, you can enable this option to collect mailbox Exchange permission information.

High

•
Mailbox folder permissions

If collecting permissions, you can enable this option to collect mailbox folder permission information.

High

•
Public folder permissions

If collecting permissions, you can enable this option to collect public folder permission information.

High

Nested group members

Recursively collects the members of any groups found in the Exchange discovery.

High

The following options further refine how collection tasks are handled. When collecting additional attributes, especially ones with a high performance cost, consider enabling these performance options to help improve collection performance.

 
Table 22. Exchange Discovery: Performance Options
Option
Notes

Performance Options

When both sub-options are selected, one task per mailbox server is created. One additional task per object type (except Mailboxes) is also created.

When neither option is selected, one task is created for the entire collection.

•
Create multiple tasks per server

One task per mailbox server is created. One additional task that contains all other object types is also created.

•
Create multiple tasks for each object type being created

One task per object type is created. For example, if there are Mailboxes, Distribution Groups, Mail-Enabled Users, Mail Contacts, and Public Folders, 5 tasks are created.

Mailboxes

 

•
Include system delegates

If collecting mailboxes, you can enable this option to collect all system delegates. Disabling this option will decrease collection time by excluding system delegates with the following account names from the collection:

•
Domain Admins
•
Enterprise Admins
•
Organization Management
•
Exchange Trusted Subsystem
•
Exchange Servers
•
System
•
Administrator

Public Folders

 

Permissions

 

•
Only collect explicit permissions

If collecting permissions, you can enable this option to collect permission information only for Exchange objects with explicit permissions.

The following options determine how target computers are resolved during discoveries.

 
Table 23. Discovery Resolution Options
Option
Notes
Resolution Options

 

Allow a configurable number of seconds for a target computer to respond to a ping request

Pings target computers at collection time to determine the existence of target computers on the network before processing tasks.

Resolve target computers with disjoint namespaces

Verifies the existence of target computers with disjoint namespaces by using their DNS host names and, if that fails, by using their NetBIOS names.

Choosing Your File Storage Analysis Scopes

File Storage Analysis scopes determine what information will be collected when you run the discovery. There are several steps you should take to properly design your discovery.

File Storage Analysis Discovery: Include scopes

You can include domains, OUs, containers, individual computers, and volumes in your scope. For full information on using the browser to add scopes, see Using the Browser to Include and Exclude Scopes . You can create scopes using a dynamic query, which is resolved when the discovery is run. This gives you the flexibility to describe the computers you want to target. For more information, see Using Queries to Define Your Scopes .

* 
NOTE: Use caution when creating your queries. Ensure that the resulting set of targets is not too large for a single discovery. As well, query results should not include computers included in another discovery of the same type. If a target is in more than one discovery of a particular type, rejected tasks will appear. For more information, see Data Collection Issues .

To explicitly include objects in your File Storage Analysis scope

1
Click Add.
- OR-
If you have a text file containing the computers to be selected, click Import and follow the steps as outlined in Importing Computers to Your Scopes .
2
In the treeview, locate the desired object and select it.
To select multiple objects, press Ctrl during selection.
For more information, see Filtering in the Browser .
- OR -
To add a scope using a query, expand the Add to scope menu, select Add scope using a query, and click Add. For more information, see Using Queries to Define Your Scopes .
- OR -
To include a scope using a subnet, expand the Add to scope menu, select Add Subnet, and click Add. For more information, see Using Subnets to Define Your Scopes .
3
Click Include to add to your selected scopes list.
4
Click OK. 
* 
NOTE: When you add a domain, its child domains are not included - each domain must be explicitly added. When you add an OU or container, all children are included.
