GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation

  • Article

Find information about the GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration EWS operation.

The GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation returns configuration information for in-place holds, saved discovery searches, and the mailboxes that are enabled for discovery search.

This operation was introduced in Exchange Server 2013.

Using the GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation

The GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation provides configuration information for discovery search. Requests can contain one or more of the following arguments:

  1. SearchId — Identifies a saved discovery search. If this argument is sent in the request, the values of the other arguments are ignored.

  2. ExpandGroupMembership — Indicates whether group membership is expanded in the response. A value of true indicates that group membership is expanded so that all searchable mailboxes are returned in the response. A value of false indicates that only the group is returned in the response.

  3. InPlaceHoldConfigurationOnly — Indicates whether all searchable mailboxes are returned in addition to the in-place hold configuration. A value of true indicates that only the in-place hold configurations are returned. A value of false indicates that all searchable mailbox identifiers are returned in addition to the in-place hold identifiers. If this element is not present, the default behavior is the equivalent of the value false.

GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation SOAP headers

The GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation can use the SOAP headers that are listed in the following table.

Header name Element Description
ManagementRole
ManagementRole
Identifies the server roles that are necessary in order for the caller to make the request. This header is applicable to a request.
RequestVersion
RequestServerVersion
Identifies the schema version for the operation request. This header is applicable to a request.
ServerVersion
ServerVersionInfo
Identifies the version of the server that responded to the request. This header is applicable to a response.

The following example of a GetDiscoverySearchConfiguration operation request shows how to request the configuration of a saved search called "MyDiscSearchFor-sbrown". The arguments for the ExpandGroupMembership and InPlaceHoldConfigurationOnly elements are ignored.
