Connecting to an Exchange Organization

You use the Connect option to connect to an Exchange server that MessageStats uses as the access point to enumerate an Exchange organization.

By default, the server to which you connect is also used as the server from which data is gathered. However, you can specify different Exchange servers for gatherings at the Exchange organizational level or at the task level.

When you connect to an Exchange organization, you must select an appropriate Exchange connection server. The connection server is used to enumerate the Exchange organization:

1
Select the Exchange Organizations node.
5
Click Next.
To use different credentials than the account that is specified for the default Task Credentials, select Specify Explicit Credentials and enter the account and password you want.
Click Accept.

Viewing Connected Exchange Organizations

When you select and expand an Exchange organization under the Exchange Organizations node, the right pane displays the servers in the selected Exchange organization.

If you have Exchange organizations that have the same organization name and display name, the Active Directory unique identifier is appended to the Exchange organization name. To change the MessageStats name for the organization, see Renaming an Exchange Organization .

When you right-click a connected Exchange organization, the following MessageStats options are available.

Renaming an Exchange Organization

In some Exchange networks, you may have Exchange organizations with the same organization name and the same display name. You can use the Rename option to rename an Exchange organization with a unique display name that is used to identify it in the MessageStats console and in MessageStats Reports.

If you rename an Exchange organization, you must update any report subscriptions, custom reports, default filters, and saved reports that use the old organization name with the new name.

1
Expand the Exchange Organizations node in the treeview and select an Exchange organization.
3
Select Define Explicit Value and enter a unique name in the box that is used to identify the organization in MessageStats.
