Force Mailbox-Creation Policy upon User creation outside from ARS

Back to User management: Other

Back to Exchange management

DESCRIPTION

This script forces Policy "Controls selection of mailbox stores where Exchange mailbox creation is allowed." to create a mailbox according to the ARS-specific policy settings, when a user object is created outside of ARS, e.g. within ADUC.

Copy the following script to a handler script box, point a policy to this policy script, set the scope and check the boxes "Handle changes from the DirSync control" in the properties of the script execution connection.

Make sure to apply an ARS-specific Mailbox provisioning policy to the same scope as for this policy.

Author: Dirk Wahlefeld

'--- React on these changes, e.g. Set the following attribute to the value "true",

'--- to force the mailbox creation routine in ARS, to create a mailbox.

'--- The following attribute change forces ARS to create a mailbox, if there is a mailbox provisioning rule set on the OU!

'--- So, configure a Email-Alias and mailbox psovisioning policy first!

DirObj.Put "mailNickname", strsAMAccountName

DirObj.Put "edsaCreateMsExchMailbox", "true"
