  2. In the details pane, right-click the user account and click Exchange Tasks to start the Exchange Task Wizard.

  3. On the Available Tasks page of the wizard, select the task you want to perform.

    The following tasks are available, depending on the selected group:

    • Create User Mailbox, Establish E-mail Addresses: The account is enabled, and does not have a mailbox or external email address.

    • Delete E-mail Addresses: The account has an external email address.

    • Enable Archive: The account has a user mailbox without an archive.

    • Disable Archive: The account has a user mailbox with an archive.

  4. On the next page of the wizard, do one of the following, depending on the selected task:

  5. On the completion page of the wizard, review the results of the task. To view the progress report, click Back. To close the wizard, click Finish.

NOTE: Consider the following when performing Exchange tasks:

  • You can perform Exchange tasks on multiple objects at a time. To do so, start the Exchange Task Wizard by selecting the objects, right-clicking the selection, and clicking Exchange Tasks.

  • To locate the objects on which you want to perform Exchange tasks, use the Find function of Active Roles. Once you found the objects, start the Exchange Task Wizard by selecting the objects in the list of search results, right-clicking the selection, and clicking Exchange Tasks.

Moving a user account

To move user accounts to another container, select the accounts, right-click the selection, then click Move. In the Move dialog, select the container to which you want to move the accounts.

NOTE: The Console provides the drag-and-drop function for moving objects. To move objects, you can drag the selection from the details pane to a destination container in the Console tree.

How to move a user account

You can move Active Directory (AD) user accounts from one AD container to another with the Active Roles Console.

To move a user account

  1. In the Console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the user account you want to move.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the user account and click Move to display the Move dialog.

  3. In the Move dialog, select the folder to which you want to move the account, then click OK.

NOTE: Consider the following when moving a user account:

  • With Active Roles, user accounts, as well as other directory objects, can only be moved within the same domain. This means that the folder to which you want to move the account must belong to the same domain as the account.

  • You can move multiple objects at a time with the Move dialog. To open the dialog, select the objects, right-click the selection, and click Move. To select multiple objects, press and hold CTRL, then click each object.

  • The Console provides the drag-and-drop function for moving objects. To move objects, you can drag the selection from the details pane to a destination container in the Console tree.

  • To locate the object that you want to move, use the Find function of Active Roles. Once you found the accounts, open the Move dialog by right-clicking the object, and clicking Move.

Exporting and importing user accounts

With the Active Roles Console, you can export user accounts to an XML file and then import them from that file to populate a container in a different domain. The export and import operations provide a way to relocate user accounts between domains.

To export user accounts, select them, right-click the selection, and select All Tasks > Export. In the Export Objects dialog, specify the file where you want to save the data, and click Save.

To import user accounts, right-click the container where you want to place the accounts, and then click Import. In the Import Directory Objects dialog, select the file to which the user accounts were exported, and click Open.
