Adding Microsoft Exchange Domain Controller Access
To obtain information about your Microsoft Exchange servers, you must provide the user name and
password for at least a primary domain controller, in addition to a DNS name, as described in the

required by operating system security as well as Microsoft Exchange.

Discovery Settings.
