Exchange 2007 Support

Exchange 2007 support provided in r12, supports standard user mailboxes in addition to the following resource types:

• Linked Mailbox for a user account in a trusted forest or domain
• Shared Mailbox
• Equipment Mailbox
• Room Mailbox

To enable these mailboxes, select the Exchange General tab from an ADS Account Template property sheet and use the Mailbox Type button to create the the mailboxes. After creation, these mailboxes can be managed directly or by using the Account Template, however, the mailbox type can no longer be changed. By default, the corresponding account to Linked, Shared, Equipment, and Room mailboxes is disabled.

The following are the requirements for managing Microsoft Exchange 2007 mailboxes:

• The Exchange 2007 remote agent (imps-e2k7-x64-remote-agent) must be installed on each managed Exchange 2007 (x64) Server that hosts the Exchange 'Mailbox' role.
• Exchange 2007 Management Console and Powershell 1.0 must be installed on these Exchange 2007 Servers.
• Exchange Gateway Server must be configured in the ADS endpoint properties.
• When installing the Exchange 2007 Remote Agent, you must perform post installation steps to grant the remote agent enough rights to perform the required operations. The CA Messaging Queuing Server must be updated to be started with an account granted enough rights on both the Exchange Server and the ADS Domain for all mailbox operations on the Exchange 2007 Server.

  Note: Inherited mailbox rights are not returned by the Exchange 2007 Remote Agent.

Unlike previous versions of Exchange Server, Exchange Server 2007 does not allow creation of a user mailbox for suspended accounts. All other types of mailbox have their associated user disabled. Such accounts do not have their suspension state propagated from the Global User.
