SRM11262003A: Configuring MAPI email

Last Updated: November 26, 2003 If you want SpaceGuard SRM to send out MAPI e-mail alerts when for example your users exceed their quota, the SpaceGuard SRM service needs to have a fully configured mail profile to login on Exchange 5.x or Exchange 2000 and send out email messages.

Profile Configuration

To connect to an Exchange (5.x or 2000) server, the SpaceGuard SRM service will need its own profile. Click Add to create a new MAPI profile and enter the information as you would when configuring a regular mail client such as Microsoft Outlook. NOTE: for the profile creation to work, you need to have a valid MAPI client such as Microsoft Outlook installed on the computer running the SpaceGuard SRM service you are currently configuring.

IMPORTANT:

When creating a mail profile for SpaceGuard SRM, you will need an existing mailbox to connect the profile to. It is important that you create this mailbox BEFORE creating a mail profile. For Exchange 5.x, you need to create a mailbox within the Exchange user interface and assign this to the SpaceGuard SRM service account, (default SpaceGuardSvcAccnt). For Exchange 2000, locate the SpaceGuard SRM service account in Active Directory Users and Computers and assign a new mailbox to the existing account.

Use profile

Select one of the created mail profiles which the SpaceGuard SRM service should use when connecting to Exchange 5.x or 2000 to send out email messages. Optionally specify a password if the profile requires one.
