Exchange Configuration
Exchange configuration enables the user to create, modify, and monitor an Exchange workspace. An Exchange workspace is necessary to use the Unitrends' Exchange agent to protect an Exchange installation.
Creating and Modifying the Exchange Configuration
The two icons at the top of the pane (just below the text description) enables the user to create a workspace and to delete a workspace. Immediately below those icons is a list of the existing Exchange workspaces. To delete a workspace the user simply drags an existing workspace from the list below to the trash can icon. To create a workspace the user selects the networked folder icon to the left.
If the user creates a workspace via selecting the networked folder icon, or if a user wishes to modify an existing workspace by selecting an existing workspace from the workspace list, an area of the screen below the workspace listing appears and the user has the ability to define various attributes of the Exchange workspace as per the description below:
- Workspace Name: The name of the workspace. This must be unique across all Exchange workspaces on the Unitrends' appliance.
- Login: The login name for the workspace.
- Change Workspace Password (Modify Only): This radio button only appears if the user is modifying an existing workspace. If selected, the password and verify password fields appear.
- Password: The password associated with the login for the workspace.
- Verify Password: Retype the previously entered password for verification.
- Samba Share: The name of the Samba share associated with the workspace.
- Login: The login name for the Samba share.
- Change Samba Password (Modify Only): This radio button only appears if the user is modifying an existing workspace. If selected, the password and verify password fields appear.
- Password: The password associated with the login for the Samba share.
- Verify Password: Retype the previously entered password for verification.
- Dedicated Windows Domain: The name of the dedicated domain.
At the lower section of the screen, the user may select "Cancel" to cancel the operation or the user may select "Confirm" to enact the changes entered on this screen.
Monitoring the Exchange Configuration
Each row of the list of workspaces also includes a button to view the activity log and to view the error log for that workspace. Also, in the lowest part of the screen there are two buttons to view the global activity and error logs. Selecting any of these buttons causes the create/modify lower portion of the screen to depict the appropriate activity and error log. Each of these has the following format:
- #: The log event number.
- Host: The name of the system that generated the entry.
- Source: The event source, i.e., the subsystem of the Unitrends' system that logged the entry.
- Date: The date and time of the event.
- Severity: The severity of the event.
- Message: The message associated with the event.
- Description: The detailed description of the event.
