Hi all,

I'm trying to use FIM 2010 R2 to do provisioning mailbox on Exchange 2013

According to some article on Internet I use that command in MVRule to create mailbox

csentry = ExchangeUtils.CreateMailbox(ManagementAgent, component, nickname, mailboxMDB);

But it doesn't work. I can see the HomeMDB has changed as the string mailboxMDB on the command, but the mailbox couldn't be created.

Anyone please help me. Thanks !

p/s: Is that possible if I use something simple like enable-mailbox in MVRule to create mailbox automatically after the user is created on AD?

Hello,

this is an very old approach you are trying in code.

For Exchange 2010/2013 Provisioning you can simple flow the necessary attributes directly to AD

mailNickname

msExchHomeServerName

homeMDB

(maybe: msDBUseDefault = True)

After that configure Exchange provisioning from the MA configuration (extension tab)
You must provide the URL of Exchange Remote PowerShell here:

http://cas-server/PowerShell

have also a look at this article:

Thanks a lot, Peter. It works after mapping 3 attributes above in MVRule.

I wonder that how about the case to disable/delete mailboxes. I see the link here:

That link show that we have to use Powershell to do that kinds of task?

Thanks !!!

Hello,

yes thats right, OOB there is only the functionality to provision mailboxes.

Disable/Delete Mailboxes need to be done with PowerShell.
If you want to do more with Mailboxes than Provision, I would preferr to create a MA for that, for example with Sorens PowerShell MA

But you could also to some PowerShell Activity in Portal for example.

Thanks again Peter,

I did have a look that link about Powershell MA before but it looks a bit tough and new to me.

Coding in Powershell MA seems that not the same as we often do for Exchange/AD Tasks.

Do you have any example to complete something small with mailboxes or do you have any useful link for newbie to start with Powershell MA.

Really appreciated.
