Active Roles 8.0 LTS - Synchronization Service Administration Guide

For instructions on how to create a new sync workflow, see Creating a sync workflow.

1. In the sync workflow you created in Step 2: Create a new sync workflow, create a new update step.
2. In the update step, select the target data system for the data synchronization operation. This must be the Exchange Server to which you created connection in Step 1: Configure a connection to Exchange Server.
3. 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 updating step.

To create a connection to Active Roles, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called Active Roles included in the Synchronization Service package.

The Active Roles Connector supports the following Synchronization Service features:

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 (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 (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.
