You can configure regular expressions to discover user accounts automatically based on unique patterns of UPN, and then list the SMTP email addresses in the CommCell Console. The user accounts that match the regular expressions that you define are discovered every 24 hours, by default.
The following table provides some examples of useful regular expressions:
|
Example |
Description |
|---|---|
|
user* |
Auto-discovers any user account with SMTP email address that begins with user followed by any number of any characters (for example, userabc@* , user123@*, and so on). |
|
[JT]im |
Auto-discovers any user account with SMTP email address that begins with J or T and ends with im (for example, Jim, Tim). |
|
[a-k]Lee |
Auto-discovers any user account with SMTP email address that begins with any character in the range of a through k inclusive and that ends with Lee (for example, aLee, bLee, and so on) |
|
[A-K]* |
You can also use a combination of wildcards in a single expression, if the wildcards are supported for the type of operation you are performing. For example, you can auto-discover all user accounts with SMTP email address that begin with any characters in the range of A through K inclusive followed by any number of any characters. |
