Overview

DryvIQ connections to the Microsoft Exchange 365 can be made by using a service account with the proper privileges to manage Office 365 configurations. The first step is to create the connection by providing the information required for DryvIQ to connect to the exchange server. This is a read-only connection that can be used to scan a Microsoft Exchange account for data discovery and governance. This connection cannot be used as part of a migration since this connection has no write access. DryvIQ will scan the email subject, body, and attachments and extract metadata from the messages and use it for reporting in Discover and Govern.

Creating a Connection

  1. Expand the Manage section in the left navigation menu.

  2. Click Connections.

  3. Click Add connection.

  4. Select Microsoft Exchange 365 as the platform on the Add connection modal.

  5. Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.  

  6. Click Test connection.

  7. You will see a green "Connected” message on the bottom of the modal when DryvIQ establishes connection. (If the connection fails, verify the information you entered.)

  8. Click Done to finish creating the connection.

Understanding “Shared to” Reporting

DryvIQ uses the following metadata fields to identify sharing for emails messages:

  • BCC Recipients

  • CC Recipients

  • Reply to

  • Recipients.

Understanding Author Reporting

DryvIQ considers the sender (From) to be the author of the email message.

Metadata Options

When creating a Govern policy, you can use the custom metadata entity type to scan the following metadata fields for an email message.

String

The ID of the conversation the email belongs to.

5

from

The possible values are true or false.
