Planning on using FIM to provision Exch 2010 mailboxes in a resource forest. What is the best way to permission the mailbox following the provisioning action? Cheers, MMS_guruIdentity & Metadirectory, Hewlett-Packard UK

If as "permissioning" you think about assigning objectSID of a user to resource mailbox this can be done at provisioning level - there is CreateMailbox method which takes account forest object SID as parameter to create mailbox in resource forest and it does what You need to be done.

Thanks Tomasz.. Sorry, possibly one for the Exchange forum. So is the 'Full Access' & 'Send As' permission required on the mailbox? Cheers, MMS_guruIdentity & Metadirectory, Hewlett-Packard UK

Yes, but this should handle this as well.

Great, this can be done with coded provisioning rules (mv rules extension).. Is this technique also possible using the declarative provisioning feature in FIM? Cheers, MMS_guruIdentity & Metadirectory, Hewlett-Packard UK

Thanks Brian - As our customer does not want to go down the coding route, we'll have a look at Quest's Quick Connect for Exchange Resource Forests. Cheers, MMS_guruIdentity & Metadirectory, Hewlett-Packard UK
