Hello,

 

When we deployed Exchange Online backup couple of years back, we still used On-Prem AD. Now AD Team is migrating more and more to Azure AD, including shared mailbox delegation groups.

We used these groups to provide Commvault the list of users that should have access to the archives of shared mailboxes.

 

Given that the delegation groups now only exist in Azure AD, would there be a way to either

  1. convert Exchange Online with On-Prem AD to Exchange Online with Azure AD or
  2. work with the new Azure AD objects to delegate shared mailboxes in Commvault?

Our current setup is:

  • Exchange Online with On-Prem AD
  • End User authentication using SAML (Azure AD) as primary means of authentication. We still keep the On-Prem AD Domain Identity Server, SAML is Associated with the AD Domain.

 

Thank you,

Zoltan

Hello @Zoltan 

Thanks for the great question!

The final step to move away from the On-Prem to Azure will require the new agent to be created and configure in the command center:

Once you have the new agent setup you will just simple disable the old agent for backup and keep it present for restoring of data. 

You can setup a lot of different methods of data selection like shared/group or AD:

Please advise if this answers your questions!

Kind regards

Thank you for the answer and links, Albert.

 

Do you know how it looks from the end user’s point of view when we have archives in both Exchange with On-Prem AD (disabled for backups) and Exchange Online?

Do they see two mailboxes or the account in both agents are merged into one single mailbox in Commvault?

 

Cheers,

Zoltan
