Adding Microsoft Office 365 Organizations

To add a new Microsoft Office 365 organization, do the following:

1. Specify the Microsoft Azure region your organizations belong to.
2. Specify valid credentials to connect to the Microsoft Office 365 organization.

The user account must be provided in either of the following formats: user@domain.com or user@domain.onmicrosoft.com.

3. Select Exchange Server and/or SharePoint Server checkboxes to automatically grant required permissions and assign appropriate roles to the account to access organizations thereof. For more information, see Required Permissions.
4. Click Next and wait until Veeam verifies connection and organization parameters.
5. Click Finish.

Some actions might be failing during verification. To know more about the reason of the failure, see the message under the Status column.

Important!

To connect to Microsoft Office 365 organizations that belong to China or Germany regions, make sure you select the Use custom Veeam application to connect to Microsoft Graph checkbox. For more information on this feature, see Connecting to Microsoft Graph.

Note:

If impersonation was not granted, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will display an error message when checking organization parameters. Further mailbox processing will not be possible. If impersonation was granted manually using PowerShell with some accounts filtered out (i.e. partial impersonation), then you will see the corresponding notification message. If you decide to fully grant impersonation, you can re-run parameters check right afterwards.
