Group Management Comparison

Following on from my last post about the overlaps between FIM and Exchange 2010 I wanted to clarify for myself the group management capabilities in FIM, Exchange 2010 and ILM.
Warning: I will have to revisit this post – as I haven’t yet installed Exchange 2010 in a production environment the Exchange comments are based on [...]

The article covers various management tasks you can acheive with the standard AD MA, including provisioning and updating of users, mailboxes, contacts and distribution groups. There are quite a few code samples as well.

Creating user home directories – Windows version

I last blogged about provisioning home directories such a long time ago that I talked about Netware. I also used a SQL table alongside to keep track of a status field as I was doing some end-of-life management – zipping up the folder and stowing it in an archive location.

Adding Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing users

A while back I proposed  a powershell XMA approach to the problem of adding Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing AD users. This was because my old method of adding an Exchange 2003 mailbox by populating a couple of extra attributes did not seem to work with Exchange 2007.
However, in  a recent thread on the Technet [...]
