Creates a Exchange mailbox for an Active Directory user account. This
action supports MS Exchange versions 2003 and 2000.
This action is typically used in a script that is intended to create
new users in Active Directory, after creation of the actual user account
with Script Action: Create
User (AD). It can also be used for modifying existing accounts.

Property

Description |
Typical setting |
Remarks |
|
User Object |
Internal application object representing the
user account for which a mailbox must be created. |
%UserObject% |
The User Object must always be specified as
a variable. This variable must have been set by a previous script action.
For example the script action Create
user (AD) will by default fill the variable %UserObject% with the
User Object of the created user. |
|
Exchange server |
The name of the Exchange server on which the
mailbox is created. It can be specified either in DNS-style or in NT4-style. |
%ExchangeServer% |
|
|
Mailbox store |
Optional: The LDAP name of the mailbox store. |
<not specified> |
A Mailbox
store is required to create
an Exchange mailbox. When this property is not specified, User
Management Resource Administrator tries to determine the mailbox stores
that exist on the specified Exchange
server. When only one mailbox
store is found, this mailbox store is used for the Exchange mailbox. By
default, only one mailbox store is setup when MS Exchange is installed.
If multiple mailbox stores exist on the Exchange server, you must explicitly
specify this property. |
|
Domain controller |
Optional: The name of the Domain
controller used to access the Active Directory. |
<not specified> |
Exchange information is stored in Active Directory.
Depending on the logged on user account, and the network domain configuration,
it may be necessary to specify this property. For instance, if you are
logged in a trusted NT4 domain and are creating mailboxes in a Windows
2003/2000 environment, you must specify the name of a domain controller
of the Windows 2003/2000 domain of the user account for this property.
This property is used only to enable access to Active Directory. |
|
Alias |
Optional: The Alias property specifies the
Alias used for E-mail address generation. |
<not specified> |
By default E-mail addresses are generated
based on the name of the user account. The value is setup by MS Exchange
automatically. |
|
E-mail addresses |
Optional: The explicit E-Mail addresses for the Exchange mail box.
|
|
By default E-mail addresses are generated automatically when the mail
box is created. By specifying this property you can overrule this setting
and specify additional E-mail addresses.
Overruling of automatically generated addresses only occurs for the
E-mail types that are explicitly set. That is, if your Exchange server
configuration default generates both SMTP and X400 addresses, and the
this property specifies only SMTP addresses, the X400 addresses will still
be generated as specified on the Exchange server itself.
Specify the E-mail address using the format (E-mail-type):(E-mail-Address).
To specify the primary address, the E-mail-type must be in capitals. There
must be exactly one primary E-mail address of each E-Mail type when used.
Example:
SMTP:J.Smith@tools4ever.com
smtp:John@tools4ever.com |
|
Auto-update E-mail addresses |
When this is set to YES Exchange will automatically
generate E-mail addresses according to the Exchange recipient policy for
the account. |
YES |
|
|
Hide from address book |
When set to YES, the user's mailbox does not
show in address books. |
NO |
