Adventures in identity management
A while back I proposedĂ‚Â 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, inĂ‚Â a recent thread on the…
The US TEC 2009 is now over, and what a great week it’s been. This was the first year that Quest were running the show, and as far as I could tell it was very much business as usual for the conference, with the welcome addition of an Exchange track to the usual Directory and…
I’m at TEC 2009 in Las Vegas at the moment, and it was officially announced by Microsoft today that the release date for ILM 2 is now Q1 2010, as opposed to the previously publicised date of “any day now”. We should be getting an RC1 version in Q3 this year. I asked if there…
If anyone is in the Geneva area, and has not yet registered for TechDays, I believe there are still some places available: http://www.microsoft.com/switzerland/msdn/fr/techdays/Default.aspx I will be presenting a session on ILM “2” of course.
I am working on a demo scenario :Ă‚Â Certain information about users (name, department, job title, start date) should come direct from HR or from a simplified User Create form; other account-specific stuff (account name, mail nickname, mail database) should be automatically populated; and the account should be provisioned to AD/Exchange when all information is…
This post builds on yesterday’sĂ‚Â which should be read first.Ă‚Â Following are the extraĂ‚Â Sync Rule and MA configurations that I madeĂ‚Â which added the Exchange 2007 support.
This post did start with a rant about how much trouble I had getting the codeless provisioning to work – but I’ve been working with it a bit more now, and have sufficiently got the hang of it, so I have rewritten the introduction to this post. This is not an attenpt to change history…
This is a follow-up to the post about renaming a domain with Exchange 2007, which you actually can’t do as it turns out, so this became a migration to a new forest. I was mostly working on the mailbox migration, so this post only covers Exchange 2007 to 2007 cross-forest migration.
Here’s my scenario: The groups at my work are currently all populated manually in AD. We did discuss the steps needed to move some of the groups into a SQL table where they could be populated using query statements, but we never didĂ‚Â get around to it. So I know that the group management capabilities of…
I’d like to be able to manage groups through the Portal but, unlike in the one published walkthrough on group management with ILM2, I don’t want to start from scratch. I want to start by importing all the existing groups from AD, and then, well we’ll see how we go. Getting information about my AD…
