How do I create an Exchange Server data source in Drivve | Image?
Prerequisite
In order to create a Exchange Server data source, the Drivve | Image module
Exchange | Fax Connector (UEC) has to be licensed.
Supported Exchange Servers

- Microsoft Exchange 2007 (used together with WebDav or Exchange Web Services)
- Microsoft Exchange 2010 (used together with Exchange Web Services)

Before you can use an Exchange Server email field in a Drivve | Image profile, you have to create an Exchange server data source. Drivve | Image supports the following Exchange Server variants:
- Local Exchange Server
- Hosted Exchange Server (Office 365)
- Hosted Exchange Server (Office 365) with Active Directory synchronization
Note
An installation of software on the Exchange Server is not required. Http and Https are supported. Depending on the version of the Exchange Server, either WebDAV or Exchange Web Services have to be activated on the Exchange Server.
To create an Exchange Server data source, proceed as follows:
- Start the Drivve | Image configuration program.
- On the Tools menu, click Data sources.
