Selecting mailboxes to protect

Once the Service Account has been configured, you need to select user mailboxes that you want to protect. You can either enable protection for the whole Exchange Online organization or select specific mailboxes. By default, the protection scope is not specified.

To select mailboxes that you want to protect:

1. Open the Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365 Management Console.
2. In the left part of the page, select the Account section.
3. Click the Change button next to the number of protected mailboxes.
4. Select one of the following options:
   • All, if you want to protect all user mailboxes within the current Exchange Online organization.

     If you select this option, any new mailboxes further added to your Exchange Online organization will be automatically included in the protection scope.

   • Selected, if you want to protect only specific mailboxes.

   The options are available if the Service Account has been configured and validated.

5. For the Selected option, select the check boxes next to the mailboxes that you want to protect.

   You can start typing the mailbox name in the Search entry field to find it automatically.

   If you change the primary SMTP address for selected mailboxes, the application will recognize them as newly added ones. Protection for these mailboxes will be automatically disabled. To resume protection, include the required mailboxes in the protection scope again.

6. Click Save.

If necessary, you can force the application to retrieve the list of mailboxes from Exchange Online by clicking the Refresh link below the list.

In case of any technical issues preventing the application from functioning correctly, the number of protected mailboxes displayed in the Account tab still corresponds to the number of mailboxes selected for protection. Protection will be resumed once the issues have been fixed and the application is fully operational again.
