This section demonstrates how Exchange Resource Forest Management automates creation of mailboxes in the Exchange forest for user accounts held in an accounts forest. The following examples are considered:
You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to create a new user account in the accounts forest while having Exchange Resource Forest Management create a linked mailbox for that user account in the Exchange forest.
To create a new user account with a mailbox
The list in the Select Mailbox Database dialog box contains the mailbox databases found in the Exchange forest. The list can be restricted by applying an Exchange Mailbox AutoProvisioning policy to the Mailboxes OU in the Exchange forest.
As a result, a new shadow account with a linked mailbox is created in the Mailboxes OU. The user account you have created in the Accounts OU is specified as the linked master account for that mailbox.
For the purpose of this section, assume that the Accounts OU contains a user account that does not have an Exchange mailbox. You can create such an account by leaving the Create an Exchange mailbox check box cleared on the pages for creating user accounts in the Active Roles Web Interface. Then, you can create a mailbox for that user account by using the Web Interface as follows.
To create a mailbox for an existing user account
The list in the Select Mailbox Database dialog box contains the mailbox databases found in the Exchange forest. The list can be restricted by applying an Exchange Mailbox AutoProvisioning policy to the Mailboxes OU in the Exchange forest.
As a result, a new shadow account with a linked mailbox is created in the Mailboxes OU. The user account you selected in the Accounts OU is specified as the linked master account for that mailbox.
This section demonstrates how Exchange Resource Forest Management handles the changes you make to a master account. Making changes to certain properties results in updating data in both the master account and shadow account, whereas modification of some other properties only updates data in the shadow account. Therefore, two examples are considered:
