Domains

You can define the monitoring criteria in policies and then apply them to the PATROL Agents. When you modify a policy, all the changes are automatically pushed to the PATROL Agents on which the policy is already applied.

When a monitoring policy is applied to a PATROL Agent, the device or server that hosts the Agent is automatically added to the list of monitored devices.

On the Add Monitor Types dialog, with the Monitoring Profile set to Domain and the Monitor Type set to Exchange domain monitoring, provide the following details:
