Process

Follow these steps to define user settings for Mailbox Folder Structure Retrieval (UMPolling) feature depending on the application in use:

 

Microsoft Exchange 2013 / 2010 [EWS]

  1. Open the Exchange Management Shell on the Microsoft Exchange 2010 server.
  2. Run the following cmdlet: New-ManagementScope -name "MAUMPolling" -recipientrestrictionfilter {recipienttype -eq "UserMailbox}"
  3. Once the above step is complete, run the following cmdlet (the account used in this step cannot have domain administrator rights): New-ManagementRoleAssignment -name "MAUMPollingRA" -role:applicationimpersonation -user "masynch@domain.com" -customrecipientwritescope "MAUMpolling" ​

Additional Information

  • ​Some Exchange 2010 environments also require the Exchange 2007 scripts to be run.
  • The ManagementScope might already exist and be named differently. You can confirm the existing scope using the cmdlet Get-ManagementScope.
  • For example, if GFI Mail Essentials is running in the same environment the scope might have already been created and with the name GFI_MA_UMP. In this case, it is not needed to run New-ManagementScope again. But run:
    New-ManagementRoleAssignment -name "MAUMPollingRA" -role:applicationimpersonation -user "name@mydomain.com" -customrecipientwritescope "GFI_MA_UMP"

 

Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1, SP2, SP3 [EWS]

  1. Open the Exchange Management Shell on the Microsoft Exchange 2007 server.
  2. Run the following cmdlet (the account used in this step cannot have the domain administrator rights): Add-ADPermission -identity "Mailbox Store" -User "Trusted User" -AccessRights GenericAll
    • Example: Add-ADPermission –Identity “Mailbox Database” -User "master-domain\smith" –AccessRights GenericAll
  3. Run the following cmdlet: ​foreach ($exchangeServer in Get-ExchangeServer){if ($exchangeServer.ServerRole -match 'ClientAccess'){Add-ADPermission -Identity $exchangeServer.DistinguishedName -User 'domain\user' -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-EPI-Impersonation}}
    • Example: foreach ($exchangeServer in Get-ExchangeServer){if ($exchangeServer.ServerRole -match 'ClientAccess'){Add-ADPermission -Identity $exchangeServer.DistinguishedName -User 'master-domain\smith' -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-EPI-Impersonation}}
