Table 34: UmMailboxPolicy attributes
ObjectID |
Single-valued, string |
Gets the unique identifier for a specified object in Exchange Server. |

Other attributes provided for the UmMailboxPolicy object have the same names and descriptions as parameters of the following Exchange Management Shell cmdlet:
To migrate a mailbox, you need to use the MoveMailboxTo attribute provided for the Mailbox object. Update the value of the MoveMailboxTo attribute, so that it includes the name or GUID of the Exchange Server database to which you want to move the mailbox. As a result, the mailbox is migrated to the Exchange Server computer that hosts the specified database.
NOTE: Before migrating mailboxes, consider the following:
-
You can only migrate mailboxes between Exchange Servers that belong to the same Exchange organization.
-
If the computers between which you want to migrate mailboxes run the same version of Exchange Server, make sure they have either no or the same Exchange Server Service Pack installed.
Configuring a connection to Exchange Server
Configure a connection to the Exchange Server installation you will use to move the mailbox object. For more information on the Microsoft Exchange Server versions supported by Active Roles, see System requirements in the Active Roles Release Notes.
NOTE: Both the source and target computers must have either the same Exchange Server Service Packs installed, or no Exchange Server Service Packs installed at all.
For more information on how to configure a connection to Exchange Server, see Creating a new connection to Exchange Server.
Configuring a step to update MoveMailboxTo attribute value
To configure a step to update MoveMailboxTo attribute value
- In the sync workflow you created, create a new update step.
- In the update step, select the target data system for the data synchronization operation. This must be the Exchange Server to which you created the connection.
- Configure the update step so that it updates the value of the MoveMailboxTo attribute on the appropriate Mailbox objects. The new attribute value must include the name or GUID of the Exchange Server database to which you want to move the mailboxes.
For instructions on how to create and configure an update step, see Creating an update step.
To create a connection to Active Roles, you need to use in conjunction with a special connector called Active Roles Connector included in the package.
The Active Roles Connector supports the following features:
Table 35: Active Roles Connector – Supported features
Bidirectional synchronization
Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system. |
Yes |
Delta processing mode
Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration. |
Yes |
Password synchronization
Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system. |
Yes |
The Active Roles Connector supports linked attributes in the Active Directory schema. Linked attributes allow you to associate one object with another object. Linked attributes exist in pairs:
-
Forward link attribute: This is a linked attribute that exists on a source object (for example, the member attribute on the Group object). Forward link attributes can be single-valued or multivalued.
-
Back link attribute: This is a linked attribute that can be specified on a target object (for example, the memberOf attribute on the User object). Back link attributes are multivalued and they must have a corresponding forward link attribute. Back link attributes are not stored in Active Directory. Rather, they are calculated based on the corresponding forward link attribute each time a query is issued.
You can create a connection to Active Roles right after you install on your computer.
To create a new connection
-
In the , open the Connections tab.
-
Click Add connection, then use the following options:
-
Click Next.
-
On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:
-
Connect to: Allows you to specify the Active Roles Administration Service to be used by the . You can use one of the following options:
-
Administration Service on the specified computer: Type the name of the computer running the Administration Service you want Active Roles to use.
-
Any Administration Service of the same configuration: Specify any Administration Service whose database holds the necessary configuration: type the DNS name of the computer running that Administration Service. If Active Roles replication is used to synchronize configuration data, this must be any Administration Service whose database server acts as the Publisher for the configuration database.
-
Active Roles version: Prompts you to specify the version of the Active Roles Administration Service to which you want to connect. You can choose to connect either to version 7.0 or later or to version 6.9 or earlier. In the latter case, you have to install the Active Roles ADSI Provider of the respective legacy Active Roles version on the computer running the . For installation instructions, see the Active Roles Installation Guide.
-
Access Active Roles Administration Service using: Allows you to specify an authentication option to access the Active Roles Administration Service. You can use one of the following options:
-
Active Roles account: Allows you to access the Administration Service in the security context of the user account under which the Active Roles is running.
-
Windows account: Allows you to access the Administration Service in the security context of the user account whose user name and password you specify below this option.
-
To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.
-
Click Finish to create a connection to Active Roles.
