# Add an Office 365 Exchange node

Add Office 365 Exchange for agentless scanning. There are several supported types of Cloud App nodes, including Office 365 Exchange nodes.

Applies to: `Guardian Classic`

## Dependencies

To add an Office 365 Exchange node, you need:

- A **Windows Connection Manager** configured in Guardian. For more information, see [Windows Connection Manager](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/inventory/connection-managers/connection-managers/windows/windows-connection-manager/index.md).
- Administrator access and credentials to an **Office 365 Exchange account**.

## Add an Office 365 Exchange node

To monitor the accounts and settings present in an instance of Office 365 Exchange, you'll add it as an Office 365 Exchange node in Guardian. This lets you keep track of Office 365 users, user settings, permissions, and more.

To add an Office 365 Exchange node:

1. In the Guardian web application, navigate to the **Add Nodes** tab (**Inventory** > **Add Nodes**). The **Add Nodes** page is displayed.

2. Type 'Office 365 Exchange' in the search bar.
3. Select **Office 365 Exchange**. Then, click **Go Agentless**. The **Connect Agentlessly to Office 365 Exchange** page is displayed.

4. Complete the following options:

    ![365 node 02](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/assets/images/guardian/inventory/add-nodes/single-nodes/365-node-02.png)

**Connection manager group** drop-down list
:   The Connection Manager group responsible for scanning your Office 365 Exchange node. Select a Connection Manager group from the drop-down list.

**Node Name** field
:   The name of the node. The value you enter here will be used as the display name in Guardian.

**Administrator account login** field
:   The username for the administrator account associated with the Office 365 Exchange instance you're connecting to.

**Password** field
:   The password for the administrator account associated with the Office 365 Exchange instance you're connecting to.

5. Click **Scan Node**.

Now, Guardian performs an initial scan of the node. You can wait on this page for the scan to finish, at which point you will see a **View Scan** button. To view the results of this initial scan, click **View Scan**. However, you can also navigate elsewhere while Guardian performs its initial scan of the node. You can then view the status of the scan on the [Job History](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/control/job-history/job-history/index.md) (**Control** > **Job History**) page.
