Quest On Demand is a cloud based management platform, providing access to multiple Quest Software Microsoft management tools through a single interface. Cloud based is a term that refers to applications, services or resources made available to users on demand via the Internet. Quest On Demand is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application where application software is hosted in the cloud and made available to users through quest-on-demand.com.
The Quest On Demand management platform is based on the concepts of organizations, task based modules and Microsoft Entra tenants. When you sign up for the Quest On Demand service, you create an organization. The organization can subscribe to task based modules. Organization administrators can use the tools provided by the modules to perform administrative actions on Microsoft Entra tenants.

Assign role for Exchange Online PowerShell admin consent When you grant consent in On Demand, a service principal is created in your tenant. Some On Demand modules require that a role be assigned to the service principal. The role is needed to support specific module functionality such as for On Demand Recovery. Now, after granting consent for the Exchange Online PowerShell consent type, you can assign the Exchange Admin Role. This role is needed to perform Exchange tasks such as linking mailboxes to users and deleting mail-enabled groups. |

When a new version of the agent is available, Quest will generate a package to be distributed to all organizations. Each installed agent will be updated. Updates do not require any manual intervention and the upgrade does not require a system reboot. | 359241 |
