Hello! I am an absolute FIM 2010 beginner and I would like to ask you for some expert advise on Exchange 2010 provisioning. I have 9 domains within single AD forest, 3 Exchange 2010 servers with 30 mailbox databases. Provisioning is currently done using PowerShell scripts: Human Resource database generates custom XML files with employee data, then PowerShell script parses them and, depending on employees' location and position, creates mailboxes and domain user objects in corresponding OUs and mailbox databases. Is it possible to provision mailbox-enabled AD domain user accounts from just one FIM 2010 server to different domains, OUs, mailbox databases? Thanks in advance!

You can easily identify Mailbox server location by identifying the homeMDB attribute. Use a tool such as ADSI edit to see different values of HomeMDB then build your logic to pick the value of the homeMDB based on that logic. Personally, I prefer the concept of a lookup table based on criteria such as location. As for the Domain and the OU location, it depend on another attribute called DN. Do the same thing as for the homeMDB and build a logic that customize DN value before you provision user account Issam Andoni http://www.zevainc.com/andoniBest Regards, Issam Andoni http://zevainc.com/andoni
