Connecting to Exchange Online

When you add a new connection to Exchange Online, you must specify your Microsoft tenant. You are automatically routed to the Microsoft Azure portal to register the MessageStats Exchange Online application in Azure AD so the Microsoft identity platform can provide authentication and authorization services for the application.

You must log in to your Microsoft tenant as a Global Administrator user. Then you are redirected to a page that lists the permissions that will be granted. You must click Accept and provide admin consent for the MessageStats application. Once the Global Administrator adds a tenant to MessageStats, an application record is created in the tenant indicating that admin consent has been provided.

To create the Exchange Online connection
1
In the console treeview, expand the Exchange Online node, right-click and select Add new connection.
2
Enter the tenant name for your Microsoft Exchange Online tenant.
You are routed to the Microsoft Azure portal.
3
Enter your Azure AD Global Administrator credentials and click Next.
A page opens with the list of permissions that you are granting.
4
Click Accept.
MessageStats is registered as an application with all the required permissions and roles in your tenant. A self-signed certificate is created to use the MessageStats application that is valid for two years.
Points to remember

You should be aware of the following points:

•
Each Exchange Online connection has its own registered application and certificate.
•
The certificate is only used by the MessageStats to access the application in the tenant and it is installed in the current user certificate store of the local machine.
•
To use an existing connection/application in a different MessageStats console or on another Task Execution server, you can export the certificate with a private key and install it to another computer in the current user certificate store.

About Tasks

The following sections explain how to create gathering tasks using the Create Task Wizard.

A task is a collection of gathering activities. When you create a task, it is listed in the Tasks node of the navigation tree. When you click the Tasks node, the task appears in the Tasks Summary View.

The Tasks Summary View shows all the tasks created for the MessageStats Scheduler Server. The Tasks Summary view displays the properties of a task, including the task name, task credentials, schedule, next occurrence, description, and progress.

The account used for the gathering credentials must have administrator rights and must have the global administrator role.

What is a Task Occurrence?

Tasks are scheduled to run an occurrence of that task. Each occurrence has a start date and time. Each occurrence lists the activities and associated properties in the Task Activity view.

What is the Task Activity View?

The Task Activity view displays detailed properties of the activities that comprise an individual task. These properties include activity descriptions, source, status, progress, runtime gathering dependencies, start and finish time, activity duration, and execution server.
