The following step procedures provide instructions for Microsoft Exchange policy tasks that help you establish and maintain Microsoft Exchange policies.
Enabling Microsoft Exchange support allows you to leverage ExA features, such as Microsoft Exchange policies and integrated mailbox and mail-enabled object management. You can enable or disable Microsoft Exchange support for each Administration server. You can also enable support for the following Microsoft Exchange versions on the same Administration server:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010, and 2013
Microsoft Exchange Online
To enable Microsoft Exchange support, you must have the appropriate powers, such as those included in the built-in Manage Policies and Automation Triggers role, and your license must support the ExA product. For more information about Microsoft Exchange requirements, see the Administration Installation Guide.

In the left pane, click Policy and Automation Management.
Under Common Tasks in the right pane, click Configure Exchange Policies.
Select Enable Exchange Policy and click Apply.
DRA verifies which versions of the Exchange management tools are installed on the Administration Server and enables the options that allow you to select Exchange support for the appropriate versions.
If Enable Exchange Policy was already selected and the options that allow you to select Exchange support are not enabled, click Refresh to have DRA verify which versions of the Exchange management tools are installed on the Administration Server.
To enable Exchange administration support, select the options to enable support of the versions of Exchange you intend to manage with this Administration server.
If you want to use Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2013 management tools to manage all versions of Exchange objects in your environment, select Update objects using Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 tools if earlier versions of Exchange Management Tools are not available.
NOTE:Managing an object in the Exchange Server 2010 or 2013 Exchange Control Panel can upgrade the object. As a result, earlier versions of Exchange management tools can no longer manage the object. If you have Exchange environments that you intend to manage with earlier versions of Exchange management tools, do not select this option.
