Configure Exchange Agent to Use RPC over HTTP(S)

After recent architecture changes, Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 now requires MAPI connectivity using RPC over HTTP(S). The Event Import utility in CA Data Protection needs a configuration change to be able to import emails from journal mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers. You need to configure your existing installation to use RPC over HTTP(S).

Follow these steps:

1. Determine your Exchange GUID by running the following power shell command:

   [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailbox -Identity importmailboxuser | Select ExchangeGuid
   

2. Copy the 'Import.exch.ini' file from the 'import\templates\' directory to the 'import\' directory.

   C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\CA DataMinder\import\templates\Import.exch.ini 
   C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\CA DataMinder\import\Import.exch.ini
   

3. Open your copy of the 'Import.exch.ini' file. Find the following parameters and define appropriate values for your system:

   MSExch.ServerName      = ExchangeGUID@Domain 
   MSExch.MailboxName     = MailboxName
   MSExch.ProxyServerName = https://hostname.Domain
   MSExch.RPCAuthMethod   = WinNT/NEGOTIATE/NONE (Default: WinNT)
   MSExch.HTTPAuthMethod  = NEGOTIATE/NTLM (Default: NTLM)
   MSEch.CertPrincipal    = msstd:CertificateIssuer
   

4. If the proxy server credentials are different from the user domain credentials, update the following parameters of the ExchangeProxyEI component:
   • Domain (Type: REG_SZ)
   • FriendlyName (Type: REG_SZ)
   • Proxyname (Type: REG_SZ)
   • UserName (Type: REG_SZ)
   1. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\CA DataMinder\system.
   2. Define the parameters for your environment on the command line:

      wgncred -setexchangeProxy ComponentIdentifier Domain UserName Password ProxyName
      

      Or alternatively, provide the parameters interactively:

      wgncred -setexchangeProxy
      

   You defined the proxy server credentials.

5. Run the import utility:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\CA DataMinder\import\wgnimport.exe -f import.exch.ini
   

   You configured the EventImport utility to connect to Exchange 2013 using RPC over HTTP(S).
