Setting up service account mailbox



  1. Now to setup itrezzoAgent, the first thing you have to do is do choose the Service Mailbox Setup from the itrezzo UCM install wizard. Click on Service Mailbox Setup tile. This is where itrezzo UCM writes the structures into the Service Account mailbox that you created earlier in the prerequisitesarticle. This option has the ability to perform the licensing by interacting with our licensing database. Use the Service Account that was created from the prerequisites article on this screen.
  2. Select Exchange for On-Premise Exchange.
  3. Uncheck the box for Override default.
  4. Access Type – Use Default Access.
  5. Choose the correct Exchange Server version from the drop down next to Version.
  6. Check mark the box for Direct URL and enter the internal address of the Exchange Server or the URL to access OWA internally because that is where the EWS stub is located & then click on Validate.
  7. Once the validation is succeeded, click OK & click Next.
  8. In the Contact info window, enter a few characters of your service account mailbox and using GAL lookup you will find the service mailbox in the drop down, select the appropriate service account.
  9. The Email Address box contains the email of the contact person where we send information about the updates and billing. We recommend putting an email address of a user mailbox instead of a Distribution Group or a Shared Mailbox.
  10. We have an algorithm that generates an Authorization code based on the Service Account email, user email and version installed on the machine. Click on Get to get a new Authorization code. It is very important to get an authorization code as you will not be able to do anything without it. Once you have the code displayed, click on Next. It will save the details on the mailbox.
  11. Once you click on Get to acquire an authorization code, we get an email from the licensing server that someone registered for a new authorization code. 
  12. Click on Next & we are going to get another email.
  13. You will always get two emails. The first one with subject: itrezzo UCM Registration Succeeded & the other email with subject: Request License Pack. The second email contains the details of the contact person, the authorization code and the version that you install. Make sure to check the contact details and make sure the email should not be reflecting any of your personal domains like gmail or yahoo, it should only be of your Exchange organization’s email, where you are installing itrezzo  UCM.
  14. Make sure Start all services and Launch Web Administrator options are checked and once verified, click Finish.
Note: For itrezzo UCM, we provide you free licenses for 10 users which you can use as trial and these are fully functional licenses which are good to use for one year.

  • After, we activate the trail licenses for you from back-end, you will receive an email with the instructions on how to activate the license pack. The email with contain an attachment but you do not need to save the attachment from the email. .
  • To install this license pack, please forward the email message without any modification to the email address of the itrezzoAgent service account mailbox.
  • From the itrezzo Web Admin navigate to the Global Configuration > License Packs container and click on the small tablet and gear icon on the grey bar on the upper right.
