Microsoft Exchange mailboxes

Mailbox-enabled recipients can send, receive, and save messages. Microsoft Exchange recognizes several mailbox types. The mailbox types listed below are supported in One Identity Manager.

Table 28: Supported mailbox types
Mailbox type Description

User mailbox

User mailboxes are assigned to Active Directory user accounts in a Microsoft Exchange organization.

Equipment mailbox

Equipment mailboxes are resource mailboxes used for planning resources, such as computers or laptops. This mailbox type can only be created for disabled user accounts.

Room mailbox

Room mailboxes are resource mailboxes used for planning meeting locations.

Linked mailbox

Linked mailboxes are assigned to Active Directory user accounts in a trusted domain. This makes the Microsoft Exchange organization available within a domain. Active Directory user accounts in a trusted domain without an Exchange structure can obtain a linked mailbox in this Microsoft Exchange organization. This mailbox type can only be created for disabled user accounts.

Shared mailbox

Shared mailboxes are mailboxes that are used by several users. This mailbox type can only be created for disabled user accounts.

Legacy mailbox

Legacy mailboxes are mailboxes from earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange. These mailboxes are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization and cannot be edited.

Discovery mailbox

As from Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 onwards, a discovery mailbox, which is used as the target mailbox for eDiscovery searches in Microsoft Exchange, is created by default. These mailboxes are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization and cannot be edited.

Linked room mailbox

Linked room mailbox are used for planning meetings, for example, for conference rooms in Skype for Business. This mailbox type can only be created for disabled user accounts.

Creating Microsoft Exchange mailboxes

You always create mailboxes for Active Directory user accounts. An Active Directory user account can either have a mailbox or a mail user. If a user account already has a mail user, you must delete the mail user before a mailbox can be set up for the user account.

NOTE: Equipment mailboxes, shared mailboxes and linked mailboxes can only be created for disabled user accounts.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up mailboxes for company identities.

  • In order to create mailboxes through account definitions, the identity must have a central user account and obtain the IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, primary location, or a primary cost center.

  • Some of the main data of the mailboxes is mapped from identity main data using templates.

To create a mailbox

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mailboxes category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the main data form, enter the main data of the mailbox.
