Introduction
The guide is provided as a companion to the Kazeon Information Server-ECS IS1200
User and Configuration Guide. The Kazeon Information Server-ECS IS1200 User and
Configuration Guide should be read first as it contains most of the basic IS1200 server
setup and maintenance information on which this guide builds.
About the Kazeon Information Server
The Kazeon Information Servers are integrated hardware and software systems that
provide information management solutions enabling organizations to efficiently and
cost effectively classify, manage, and retrieve data. They provide consistent
information visibility and control across distributed files, minimize the risk of un-
managed files, integrate seemlessly with existing infrastructure, and scale to support
billions of files for searching, reporting, backup search and recovery, and file
migration and archiving.
Extending Server Functionality
The Kazeon Information Server’s standard functionality can be expanded with
optional add-on modules like the Connector for Microsoft Exchange Server. The
Exchange Connector module requires an additional license for the Kazeon
Information Server and allows the IS1200 to perform crawls of Microsoft Exchange
Servers as well as searches, reports, and applying Actionable Services.
Microsoft Exchange Server Background
The Microsoft Exchange Server is a messaging and collaborative software server
system from Microsoft. As part of the Microsoft line of server products, it is widely
used by corporations using Microsoft solutions. Exchange offers electronic mail,
calendaring, contacts and tasks, and support for mobile and web-based access to
information, including and supporting data storage.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Kazeon's Exchange Server Connector (Exchange Connector) enables the following
email capabilities:
z Classification and indexing of email and attachments located on registered
Microsoft Exchange servers, including calendars, contacts, and notes.
z Performing searches and reports on Exchange Servers
z Applying Actionable Services to emails and attachments found as search or report
results
Kazeon's Exchange Server Connector does not provide classification or indexing
services on the following:
z Shared/Public folders
Exchange Server Implementation Overview
Exchange Server Integration is available only on the ECS version of the Kazeon
Information Server. Exchange Server Integration may be included in a new Kazeon
Information Server IS1200-ECS installation, or added to an existing ECS installation
(ECS versions 3.0.3 or better).
If the Exchange Connector optional module was ordered along with the original
Kazeon Information Server purchase, the appropriate optional module license was
automatically included in the server master license and is routinely installed along
with the server license. If the Exchange Connector module was purchased after the
original installation, the Exchange Connector module license must be added to the
installation before module configuration can occur. See the Installing License Keys
chapter of the Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration Guide for
details on obtaining and installing optional modules licenses for existing installations.
Exchange Server Implementation In New Installations
The Exchange Connector module software is automatically installed with all Kazeon
Information Server-ECS installations, the Exchange Connector license simply
activates it. Exchange Connector can not be used with the Kazeon Information
Server-SA or Kazeon Information Server-FRM versions.
To use an Exchange Connector module purchased with a new installation, simply
follow the standard hardware and software installation and configuration instructions
in the Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration Guide and th en use
the rest of this guide to configure the module options.
MS Exchange Server Implementation In Existing Installations
If the Exchange Connector license is obtained after the original Kazeon Information
Server installation, use the following general steps to implement the Exchange
Connector. The following steps assume the Kazeon IS1200 and the Microsoft
Exchange Servers are already setup according to Kazeon and Microsoft approved
guidelines.
1. Add the Exchange Connector license to the IS1200. See the Installing License
Keys chapter of the Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration
2
EMC SourceOne eDiscovery - Kazeon IS1200 Microsoft Exchange Connector User Guide
Exchange Server Implementation Overview
Guide for details on obtaining and installing optional modules licenses for
existing installations.
2. Ensure the Exchange Server is setup to Microsoft standards for all email user
accounts requiring classification. Supported Exchange versions include:
| Exchange 2000, SP4
| Exchange 2003, SP2 or SP3
| Exchange 2007, SP1
3. Add an IS1200 administrator account to an AD Server (in the same domain as the
Microsoft Exchange Server) with permissions allowing the IS1200 to authenticate
via the AD Server, and access all email accounts on the Microsoft Exchange
Server. See “Creating the IS1200 Service Account on the AD Server” on page 9
for details.
4. Setup a Kazeon Exchange Services (KES) server to work between the IS1200 and
the Microsoft Exchange Server and add the Kazeon Exchange Agent to KES. The
agent allows the IS1200 to register and access Microsoft Exchange Servers. See
“Installing and Configuring the KES Platform” on page 15 for details.
5. On the IS1200, add the new AD username and password (from step 3 above) as an
identity to the IS1200. See the The Identity Vault chapter of the Kazeon
Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration Guide for details on adding
identities.
6. On the IS1200, add new metadata filesystems for the Exchange Servers that will
be registered. See the Registering and Managing File Systems chapter of the
Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration Guide for details on
adding metadata volumes.
7. Register the Exchange Servers with the IS1200 using the new identity created in
step 3. See “Chapter 3: Registering Exchange Servers” on page 23 for more
information.
8. Classify the Exchange Servers. See “Classifying Exchange Servers” on page 28
and the Job Scheduler chapter of the Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and
Configuration Guide for details on scheduling classification services.
9. Search, or run Reports, to lo cate emails or attachments of interest on the Exchange
Servers. See the Searching for Information and Using Reports chapters of the
Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and Configuration Guide for details on
searching and reporting.
10. Use Actionable Services on search or report results. See “Applying Actionable
Services to Exchange Server Search or Report Results” on page 30 and the
Actionable Services chapter of the Kazeon Information Server IS1200 User and
Configuration Guide for details on applying actionable services to search or report
results.

(KES)
Establishing Communications Between Exchange and IS1200
To enable the Kazeon Information Server to access a Microsoft Exchange Server for
services such as crawls, searches, and reports, a special application called the Kazeon
Exchange Server Agent (ES Agent) must be installed to manage communications
between the Exchange Server and the IS1200. The agent’s processing power needs
require a dedicated computer platform. The dedicated platform, with the agent
installed, provides Kazeon Exchange Services (KES).
The diagram below shows the communication relationships between the system parts.
Deployment Configurations
The Kazeon Exchange Connector can be deployed in a domain with either single or
multiple Exchange servers (multiple servers are typically configured with a single
front-end server providing a common namespace for multiple back-end servers).
Regardless of configuration, the Exchange Connector treats each Exchange server as
an individual repository and interacts directly with the back-end servers.

Chapter 2: Establishing Communications Between Exchange and IS1200
Installation Overview
To install the Kazeon Exchange Connector, the following basic steps are required:
1. Start with functional Active Directory (AD), Microsoft Exchange, and Kazeon
IS1200 servers.
| The AD server must be setup to Microsoft standards,
see the Microsoft documentation for details.
| The Microsoft Exchange server must be setup to Microsoft standards as well,
and use the same AD server for email user authentication, see the Microsoft
documentation for details.
| The IS1200 must be able to communicate with the KES server over the
network.
| The KES server and the Exchange server must be in the same domain.
2. Create a service account on the AD server for the IS1200, see “Creating the
IS1200 Service Account on the AD Server” on page 9 for details.
3.
Setup the KES server and install the Kazeon Exchange Services Agent (ES Agent)
See “Installing and Configuring the KES Platform” on page 15 for details.
.
4. Configure the KES server to use the account (setup in step 2 above) to access the
Exchange Servers. See “Configuring the KES Server to Use the Service Account
to Access the Exchange Server” on page 16 for details.
5. Test the KES server. See “Testing the KES Server Configuration” on page 19
below for details.
6. Setup and test the IS1200 for communications with the KES server. See “Testing
the IS1200 Connection to the KES Server” on page 21 for details.
Once the communication requirements are in place, metadata repositories for the
Exchange Servers must be created and registered with the IS1200, the Exchange
servers themselves must be registered, and then the Exchange servers must be
classified before searches and reports can be run on the files and email they contain.
The minor workflow differences, between registering, classifying, and searching or
reporting on Exchange Servers and doing the same on standard file systems are
covered in “Chapter 4: Workflow Changes for Exchange Servers” on page 27.
