A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`

How to Discover Microsoft Exchange Server Topology with Active Directory

Note This functionality is available as part of Content Pack 5.00 or later.

This section explains how DFM discovers Exchange by utilizing the tight integration between Exchange and AD. DFM runs jobs to discover Exchange elements in the topology that are available only through AD.

This task includes the following steps:

Prerequisite – Set up protocol credentials
Define at least one set of LDAP protocol credentials. These credentials should enable connecting to a Domain Controller through the LDAP protocol and performing searches. DFM does not modify information in AD. The queried nodes reside in the Configuration partition under the following nodes:
- CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange node
- CN=Sites node
The LDAP protocol credentials should include:
- User name and password. Use the user account from the target domain. For all nodes that are to be queried, give List Contents and Read all properties permissions.
- Authentication type. Simple.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisite – Discover a Domain Controller
To discover the Exchange topology with AD, DFM must first find a Domain Controller with an available LDAP connection.
1. Activate the Range IPs by ICMP job, to ping the target host on which the Domain Controller runs.
2. Activate the TCP Ports job against the target host, to discover open LDAP ports.
3. Activate the Active Directory Connection by LDAP job, to discover the Domain Controller on the target host.
4. To enable DFM to use the LDAP protocol, edit the following line in the portNumberToPortName.xml file (Adapter Management > Resources pane > Packages > DDMInfra > Configuration Files).
