Exchange System Discovery Tool Overview

The Exchange System Discovery Tool is a non-intrusive and highly secure tool that examines and analyzes selected mailboxes and reports on the collected message data. The tool output is a set of reports created from the statistics generated from a zip file uploaded to the CommVault Cloud where it staged on a virtual machine using Commvault.

The Exchange System Discovery Tool can be used to:

  • Perform archive prediction to reclaim space after the archive.

  • Provide data protection estimates and backup window timeframes.

  • Analyze and track mailbox usage and distribution.

The key features of the tool include:

  • The ability to run on a proxy without any load on the Exchange server, provided the proxy is on the same domain as the Exchange server.

  • The ability to discover more than one Exchange server at a time.

  • The ability to run multiple instances of the tool simultaneously.
