Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003

To support Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003, the following account attributes must be enabled:

• homeMDB

• homeMTA

• mailNickname

• msExchHomeServerName

The following account attributes are displayed in the schema map by default and are also used for managing Exchange accounts:

• garbageCollPeriod

• mDBOverHardQuotaLimit

• mDBOverQuotaLimit

• mDBStorageQuota

• mDBUseDefaults

If your Active Directory resource is not being used to manage Exchange Server attributes, then you must remove these attributes from the schema map for these adapters to successfully provision Active Directory accounts with Identity Manager.

Managing a mixed Microsoft Exchange environment with Exchange Server 2000/2003 and 2007 installed is possible. If this Active Directory resource is not used to manage a mixed environment and only Exchange Server 2007 is present, then follow the directions above and remove the Exchange attributes from the schema.

The Active Directory adapter can be modified to support printer, computer, or other Active Directory objects. The following example illustrates how to modify the XML code in the appropriate Java class to support printer objects.

<ObjectType name=’Printer’ icon=’group’>
    <ObjectClasses operator=’AND’>
       <ObjectClass name=’printQueue’/>
    </ObjectClasses>
    <ObjectFeatures>
       <ObjectFeature name=’create’/>
       <ObjectFeature name=’update’/>
       <ObjectFeature name=’delete’/>
    </ObjectFeatures>
    <ObjectAttributes idAttr=’distinguishedName’ displayNameAttr=’cn’ 
        descriptionAttr=’description’>
       <ObjectAttribute name=’cn’ type=’string’/>
       <ObjectAttribute name=’description’ type=’string’/>
       <ObjectAttribute name=’managedby’ type=’string’/>
       <ObjectAttribute name=’distinguishedName’ type=’string’/>
    </ObjectAttributes>
 </ObjectType>

In addition, you must create at least one new form to support printer objects.

The Windows Active Directory resource can manage Exchange 2000 contacts by changing the object class to contact and removing the password, accountId, and expirePassword resource attributes.
