Default description for new shadow accounts

The Master Account Management policy allows you to specify a text to use as the default description for new shadow accounts that Active Roles creates when enabling master accounts for Skype for Business Server. Active Roles writes that text to the Description property of every new shadow account.

Attribute to store a reference to shadow account

By default, the policy designates the adminDescription attribute of the master account for storing the GUID of the shadow account, and allows you to choose a different attribute for that purpose. Exchange Resource Forest Management uses this attribute to identify the shadow account (and, consequently, the linked mailbox) when managing a given master account. The policy causes Active Roles to set this attribute on the master account when creating the linked mailbox.

Synchronized properties

The Master Account Management policy defines a list of properties to copy from the master account to the shadow account. These properties are referred to as synchronized properties. When you use Active Roles to set or change a synchronized property of a master account, the policy causes Active Roles to set or change the value of that property on both the master account and shadow account.

In addition, Skype for Business Server User Management provides a scheduled task that copies synchronized properties from every managed master account to the corresponding shadow account. The task runs on a scheduled basis to ensure that each of the synchronized properties of the shadow account has the same value as the corresponding property of the master account. If a synchronized property of the shadow account has changed for whatever reason, Active Roles changes that property back to the value found on the master account. For further details, see Scheduled synchronization later in this document.

The following table provides the default list of synchronized properties. You can configure the policy to synchronize additional properties or remove individual properties from synchronization.

Substituted properties

The Master Account Management policy defines a list of properties that appear on the master account but reflect the properties of the shadow account. These properties are referred to as substituted properties. When you use Active Roles to view properties of a master account, the policy causes Active Roles to retrieve the values of the master account’s substituted properties from the shadow account. When you use Active Roles to set or change a substituted property of a master account, the policy causes Active Roles to set or change the value of that property on the shadow account.

The policy does not allow you to narrow down the list of substituted properties. However, you can specify your custom list of substituted properties in addition to the default list. If you do so, the resulting list of substituted properties includes all properties from both the default list and your custom list.
