Exchange Online networks - Is there an Updateable Object for these?

[Howard_Gyton]

We are about to migrate our on-prem Exchange environment into Exchange Online, and were wondering if there is an Updateable Object that contains all the hosts, and networks, that encompass this.  I can't find anything that matches on an R81.20 management server.

In SmartConsole → Objects → Updatable Objects, you should see objects related to Microsoft services such as:

• Microsoft Office 365

• Microsoft Exchange Online

• Microsoft SharePoint Online

• Microsoft Teams

I think they are Application objects though, rather than collections of IP addresses or networks.  I was looking for somethig I can use in the Network policy, so that only Exchange Online servers can access our Edge Transports.

Sorry, I can see you did put Updateable Objects.  I'm sure they weren't there but I will double check now....definitely not seeing any of those:

We don't have the latest Take for R81.20 so if these were added later that would explain why I cannot see those you have listed.

You can use the updatable object in your network policy but there isn't a specific object for exchange servers, the available objects include all the Microsoft services

In alternative, refer to this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worl...

I had to follow that link once to allow Ip ranges for MS teams bypass.

You see below at all?

No, and I suspect you might have a newer version.  When I look in the Object Explorer pop-out Window, there are no sub-folders beneath Updateable Objects.  It's a flat structure with 120 objects.

I don't have sub-sections for Office365, AWS etc., although you can see in the image above that AWS is there, in that flat list of 120.

Which version of SmartConsole & Management server are you running there?

Hi Howard,

Sorry, did not mean that, but below:

Ah!  I was running in Read-Only mode, and had no way of getting to that page. 🙂

I always make sure I'm running RO if I am just poking around as there is no chance of making accidental changes that way.

Though it does look like there are some slight differences between our two lists.

[the_rock]

That makes sense, since mine was from R82.10 version.

[Howard_Gyton]

We'll give the two "Exchange Online Worldwide Optional & Required Services" a go, and see if that works for us.

Thank you all!

[the_rock]

Sounds good, Howard! Hope that fixes it, let us know.

Assuming you are running a version that supports Updatable Objects (R80.20 and above) all objects should apply to all versions.
However, I suspect because @Howard_Gyton was in Read Only mode, the list didn't get updated and a cached (older) list was shown.

[the_rock]

Ah yes, that makes sense.
