Setting up a listener account
Follow these steps to set up a listener account on Exchange 2010, 2013+, or Office 365.
Procedure
-
For Exchange 2010 and 2013+, open Exchange Management Shell and use the following PowerShell
command to enable impersonation rights for your listener account:
New-ManagementRoleAssignment
-Role:ApplicationImpersonation-User:<userid>
For more information about impersonation rights, see the Microsoft documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204095.aspx.
-
For Office 365, you must assign application impersonation rights to the listener accounts on
Office 365.
Note:
- The listener account does not support multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication (2FA), but does support modern authentication.
- The listener account must have a mailbox associated with the account.
To set up a group with these permissions, follow these steps:- From the Office 365 Exchange admin center, click Start.
- On the left navigation menu, click ADMIN > Exchange.
- Click Permissions > admin roles.
- If the role group is available, select Discovery Management.
- From the Roles section, edit the group, and then click the plus sign (+) and choose ApplicationImpersonation.
- Add every listener account that is used by the Cloud Extender® under this role group.
