I see that on the AD MA, there is the ability to provision Exchange 2007 & 2010. In the sync rule we need to add some attributes to actual create the mailbox - happy with that.
However - how does one deprovision a mailbox?
The reason I ask is that when, in our environment, a student becomes an alumni, their local Exchange mailbox must be deleted, and a
live@edu mailbox must be provisioned. Do we need to create new Sync Rules, Sets, workflows and MPRs for this?
Good question and its odd that its been unanswered for a year.. must have been a very awkward question.
Anyways. How does one deprovision the Exchange Mailbox via FIM?
We have a collection of Mail Enabled and no-Mail Enabled users. We can provision the MailEnabled users to AD, and by following the FIM rules, provide mailNickname, homeMDB and msExchHomeServerName attributes, hey presto we get a Mailbox provisioned on AD
export. Similarly for the no Mail users, if we donot provide mailNickname, homeMDB and msExchHomeServerName attributes, we ge terms an AD account without a mailbox. Fine.
NOW. What if the Mail Enabled user is to be switched to be a no Mail AD acount (In exchange terms change him from UserMailbox back to User)
How is it done???
Simply blanking the mailNickname attribute and exporting to AD doesnt have any Effect apart from making the user invisible in Exchange.
