Supporting Exchange 2007
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is supported only on Windows Server 2003 R2 or Windows Server 2003 or newer.
The Active Directory adapter does not manage Exchange 2007 email accounts by default. To enable support for these accounts:
-
Select the Exchange 2007 Support resource parameter.
-
Make sure the gateway runs as a user that is a member of the Exchange Recipient Administrators group and is logged into the Windows domain.
-
Add the following account attributes to the schema map. Do not select the Required check box for these attributes.
|
Attribute Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
RecipientType (String) |
The user type on the resource. It is required during creation of the account on an Exchange 2007-enabled resource. Allowed values are: - User (Active Directory only user) - UserMailbox (Active Directory and Exchange user with local mail storage) - MailUser (Active Directory and Exchange user without local mail storage) This attribute is read-only during later actions, except when changing from an Active Directory-only user (RecipientType equals User) to an Exchange user type (RecipientType UserMailbox or MailUser). You cannot change the RecipientType back to User or from MailUser to UserMailbox and vice versa. |
|
RecipientTypeDetails (String) |
The extended type information for the user, which contains the same information as RecipientType. |
|
Database (String) |
The Database to store the users Mailbox. This value must be of the form: Server\StorageGroup\MailboxDatabase. This attribute must have a value when the RecipientType is set to UserMailbox. The attribute is ignored for other values of RecipientType. |
|
ExternalEmailAddress (String) |
An e-mail address outside of the Exchange organization. This attribute must be set to a unique value in the Exchange organization for the RecipientType MailUser. The attribute is ignored for other values of RecipientType. |
During migration from Exchange 2000/2003 to Exchange 2007, the Exchange domain can contain a mixture of mailbox users. You cannot manage legacy Exchange 2000/2003 users using the Exchange 2007 PowerShell scripts. Legacy users are reported by the adapter as AD-only users (RecipientType equals User) and should be manipulated through the account attributes described in the section “Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003”.
A user cannot be migrated from Exchange 200/2003 to Exchange 2007 using the adapter to update the RecipientType. You must use the standard Microsoft tools to migrate the user. The adapter will show the appropriate user type automatically after the migration has finished.
