Removing a contact from a group

You can remove contacts from Active Directory groups with the Active Roles Console.

To remove a contact from a group

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the contact you want to remove from a group.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the contact, then click Properties.

  3. On the Member Of tab in the Properties dialog, clear the Show nested groups check box, select the group from which you want to remove the contact, and click Remove.

    Figure 24: Adding and removing contacts from groups

NOTE: Consider the following when removing an object from a group:

  • If you have not cleared the Show nested groups check box, the list on the Member Of tab also includes the groups to which the object belongs indirectly, that is, because of group nesting. If you select such a group from the list, the Remove button is unavailable. An object can be removed only from those groups of which the object is a direct member.

  • You cannot remove objects from their primary groups. Instead, you can change the primary group of an object. To do so, on the Member Of tab, select a different group from the list, then click Set Primary Group.

Performing Exchange tasks on a contact

You can perform Exchange-related tasks (for example, creating or deleting email addresses) on Active Directory contacts with the Active Roles Console.

To perform Exchange tasks on a contact

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the contact you want to perform Exchange tasks on.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the contact, then click Exchange Tasks to start the Exchange Task Wizard.

  3. On the Available Tasks page of the wizard, select the task you want to perform.

    The following tasks are available, depending on the selected group:

    • Establish E-mail Addresses: The contact has no email address established. Establishes an external email address for the selected contact to include the address in the Exchange address list.

    • Delete E-mail Addresses: The contact has an email address established.

  4. On the next page of the wizard, do one of the following, depending on the selected task:

    • Establish E-mail Addresses: Specify the contact’s alias and external email address.

    • Delete E-mail Addresses: Confirm the operation.

  5. On the completion page of the wizard, review the results of the task. To view the progress report, click Back. To close the wizard, click Finish.

NOTE: Consider the following when performing Exchange tasks on a contact:

  • You can perform Exchange tasks on multiple objects at a time. To do so, start the Exchange Task Wizard by selecting the objects, right-clicking the selection, and clicking Exchange Tasks.

  • To locate the objects on which you want to perform Exchange tasks, use the Find function of Active Roles. Once you found the objects, start the Exchange Task Wizard by selecting the objects in the list of search results, right-clicking the selection, and clicking Exchange Tasks.

Moving a contact

You can move contacts from one Active Directory container to another with the Active Roles Console.

To move a contact

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the contact you want to move.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the contact and click Move to display the Move dialog.

  3. In the Move dialog, select the folder to which you want to move the contact, then click OK.

NOTE: Consider the following when moving an object:

  • With Active Roles, directory objects can only be moved within the same domain. This means that the folder to which you want to move the object must belong to the same domain as the object.

  • You can move multiple objects at a time with the Move dialog. To open the dialog, select the objects, right-click the selection, and click Move. To select multiple objects, press and hold Ctrl, then click each object.

  • To locate the object that you want to move, use the Find function of Active Roles. Once you found the accounts, open the Move dialog by right-clicking the object, and clicking Move.

  • The Console provides the drag-and-drop function for moving objects. To move objects, you can drag the selection from the details pane to a destination container in the Console tree.

Exporting and importing a contact

With the Active Roles Console, you can export contacts to an XML file, then import them from that file to populate a container in a different domain. The export and import operations provide a way to relocate contacts between domains.

To export a contact

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the contact you want to export.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the contact and click All Tasks > Export to display the Export Objects dialog.

  3. In the Export Objects dialog, specify the file where you want to save the data, and click Save.

To import a contact

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder where you want to import the contact.

  2. Click Import.

  3. In the Import Directory Objects dialog, select the file that contains the contact you want to import, and click Open.
