Microsoft Exchange On-Premises

Whereas the previous step dealt with Microsoft Exchange Online services, this step will discuss necessary considerations and differences when working with an on-premises Microsoft Exchange instantiation.

For the mail processing in Common Data Services (CDS) for Apps, you can connect your apps with Microsoft Exchange Server on-premises.

Before connecting you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

You may need to work with your Exchange Server administrator to ensure that all these prerequisites are met.

Create Server Profile

To connect to the Exchange Server, a new Email Server profile is required. To create a new profile, navigate to Settings for the environment in the Power Platform Admin centre then select Server profiles in the Email section.

In the list view, select New > Exchange Server (Hybrid) to create the profile.

At a minimum, you need to specify the profile name and the credentials for the Exchange service account that was granted the ApplicationImpersonation role.

For the properly configured standard Exchange Server on-premises deployments, this is usually sufficient; however, you may need to review and adjust some of the advanced settings.

See Connect to Exchange Server for the details.

After the profile has been saved, you can use the Test-Connection command to verify the profile. If you’ve run Test Connection and have issues with the Exchange Server (Hybrid) profile connection, use the information in the Test Connection dialogue box to diagnose and fix the connection.

Once the Microsoft Exchange (Hybrid) profile is verified, it can be used as a default profile for the new mailboxes added to the system. If there are multiple email profiles present in the system, select Microsoft Exchange (Hybrid) profile in the list and select Set as Default.
