perform Discovery Data Collection. To save time, delay these steps until you have added the
configurations for your other applications and hosts.
To monitor Microsoft Exchange, you must:
• Add information for Microsoft Exchange Domain Controller Access
• Discover the application (”Step 3 — Discovering Applications” on page 335).
Adding Microsoft Exchange Domain Controller Access
Before adding a domain controller, note the following:
• The hosts should recognize the management server by name, because a reverse look-up is
required by both operating system security and Microsoft Exchange. Make sure the domain
controller, Exchange server host, and management server are accessible to one other using the
host name and the fully-qualified domain name.
• The user name you provide must be the Common Name (CN) of the Active Directory User for
accessing the Microsoft Exchange server. If you enter the Windows user name and it is different
from the CN, the management server will not discover the Exchange instance.
To find the CN for a user on a domain controller server:
a. Install the ADSIEdit MMC snap-in if it is not installed.
b. Select Start > Run and enter adsiedit.msc.
c. When the snap-in opens, expand the DOMAIN directory and navigate to the CN=Users
folder to see the CN for each user in the Active Directory.
To provide information about your domain controllers:
1. Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > Global Application Discovery Settings.
2. In the Exchange Information section, click Create.
3. Click the Add New Domain Controller link.
a. In the Domain box, enter the domain name.
b. In the Domain Controller Name box, enter the fully qualified DNS name for the domain
controller.
c. In the User Common Name box, enter the Common Name (CN) of the Active Directory User
for accessing the Microsoft Exchange server.
d. In the Domain Password box, enter the corresponding password for accessing the Microsoft
Exchange server.
e. In the Verify Password box, re-enter the password for verification.
4. Click Add.
The domain controller is added to the table.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat these steps for each domain controller.
7. When all of your domain controllers are added, run wmiadap /f on the Exchange Server to
refresh the Exchange data.
