Microsoft Exchange mail users and Microsoft Exchange mail contacts

Mail-enabled recipients obtain data about users from outside the Microsoft Exchange organization. There is at least one email address defined for a mail recipient. Notification is automatically forwarded to this email address. You can manage mail-enabled One Identity Manager user accounts (mail users) and mail-enabled Active Directory contacts (mail contacts) in Active Directory.

Creating Microsoft Exchange mail users

Enter mail users for Active Directory user accounts. Active Directory user accounts can either have a mailbox or be mail-enabled. If a user account already has a mailbox, you must delete the mailbox before you set up a mail user for this user account.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up mail users for company employees.

  • In order to create mail users through account definitions, employees 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 mail user's main data is mapped from employee main data using templates.

To create a mail user

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail users category.

  2. Click in the result list.

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