Script Action: Create Exchange Mailbox (2003/2000)

Function

Creates a Exchange mailbox for an Active Directory user account. This action supports MS Exchange versions 2003 and 2000.

Deployment

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.

Properties

Property Name

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
