This article refers to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and newer.
Configure actions that the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service is to execute on your Microsoft Exchange Servers on the Mail Sources > Exchange Integration page in the web interface; click Help in the web interface for detailed information.
Workflow
The Workflow includes the following pages:
- Select Action – Select the type of action to perform on the Exchange Server.
- Select Server – Select an existing Exchange Server, copy an existing Exchange Server configuration to modify, autodiscover an Exchange Server, or add a new Exchange Server configuration. To enable RPC over HTTP (RoH), refer to the article How to Enable RPC over HTTP Connectivity.
- Configure Action – Use this page to configure settings for the selected action using the Workflow fields.
- View Summary – Displays the Exchange Server action details. From this page you can click Simulate Action to perform a "dry run" of the selected action on the Exchange Server, by looking for and identifying the items meeting the specified criteria without actually executing any action on those messages. All items that meet the specified criteria are listed in the Activity Log for that operation, but no actual content on the Exchange Server is modified. Note that once you click Simulate Action, an entry is added to the Recent Actions table. Click the Report link in the Recent Actions table to review the results for the operation.
