      Hi there

      I´m new with ILM and MIIS and I´m trying to populated my Exchange 2007 with exiting accounts in my AD, but I can´t, I already installed Exchange 2007 tool and powershell in my ILM server and check the provisioning exchange 2007 option in my MA.

      Somebody would be so kind to help me with some "provisioning Exchange 2007 with ILM 2007 for dummy" please

      You will need to install Exchange Roll up 9 on the ILM server and be sure to have installed Powershell. Export the following attributes:

       

      Mandatory attributes

      • mailNickname: This attribute is the alias to the mailbox.
      • displayName: This attribute is the text that is the readable name that represents you for mail delivery, and in the address book.
      • One of the three attributes in the following list:
        • homeMTA: This attribute is a distinguished name to the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) object where your mailbox resides.
        • homeMDB: This attribute is a distinguished name to the private Messaging Database (MDB) where your mailbox resides.
        • msExchHomeServerName: This attribute is the legacy distinguished name to the server where you have a mailbox (that is, /o=org/ou=site/cn=configuration/cn=servers/cn=server).

      This will create mailboxes for existing AD accounts.

      Hope this helps,
      Mark

      Could you please describe your scenario and error messages a little bit more in detail:

      Is your AD domain name really ica.com.mx?

      What are the error messages in detail? At which processing stage do they appear?

      Is your attribute flow from Metaverse to AD, except mail (which flows from AD to Metaverse)?

      Thanks everyone for your suggestions.


      Scenario


      I have 3 servers

      1. W2K3 EE SP2 - AD and DNS
      2. W2k3 EE SP2 - Exchange 2007 SP1 x86 trial version
      3. W2K3 EE SP2 - ILM 2007 Feature Pack 1 version 3.3.118.0, SQL EE 2005 SP3 RTM, Visual Studio 2005 PRO SP1 version 8.0.50727 RTM, Exchange Management tools, Powershell and Roll Update 9.


      I´m using the 2731A course for help me out.


      I have 4 MA´s

      SQL MA
      Contractors MA
      AD MA
      telephone MA

       

      * SQL MA import all the users to the MV and then export all of them to the AD.
      * AD MA creates all the users in the AD and create Exchange Mailboxes.

      Accounts

      All my account have the right permissions to perform this task-

      Errors

      I have no errors till now.

      Question?

      Lately is working, but I have my user account into Recipient configuration -> Mail contact not Mailbox as I want.

      How can I create this account into mailbox container.

      Could you please post the relevant portion of your provisioning code? Specifically the piece of code where you call ExchangeUtils.CreateMailbox.

      That code looks like it should work. However, you may want to run it through the debugger for specific accounts to make sure that the correct case is hit - you have a specific MV attribute ("mail") that must be equal to "yes" and the calling routine also must set pblCreateMailbox to True. You could verify for objects for which no account with mailbox was created that this value is actually present in the MV.
