Configuring Search & Destroy Access Accounts Parent topic

Search & Destroy requires administrators to configure two access accounts before use: an Active Directory service account and the Search & Destroy administrator for ScanMail.
Create the Active Directory service account and add the account to the Exchange Discovery Management group. ScanMail uses this service account to perform the backend mailbox searches.
The Search & Destroy administrator in ScanMail is a specialized account that permits users to access all Search & Destroy features. Search & Destroy is not visible to any user (Administrator or Operator) if the user is not also a Search & Destroy administrator.
Note
Note
The Search & Destroy feature only provides support for mailbox servers running Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 or above.
