Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 Support

The CA IdentityMinder Exchange 2007 or 2010 Connector 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 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.

For Exchange 2010, specify the Mail Server in all mailbox-enabled account templates in the User Console. You cannot make this change in the Provisioning Manager.

The requirements for managing Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 mailboxes are as follows:

• Install the Exchange 2007 or 2010 remote agent on each managed Exchange 2007 or 2010 Server that hosts the Exchange Mailbox role.
• To install shared components from the Exchange 2007 or 2010 remote agent silent install, set the following SharedComponent install location in the command line:

  SHAREDCOMPONENTS=\"<Path>\"
  

  Where Path specifies the SharedComponent install location. The following command line is an example where the SharedComponents install path is set to 'E' drive.

  SHAREDCOMPONENTS=\"E:\\Program Files\\CA\\SC\\\"
  

• Install the Exchange 2007 or 2010 Management Console on the Exchange 2007 or 2010 Servers respectively.
• Configure the Exchange Gateway Server in the ADS endpoint properties.
• When installing the Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 Remote Agent, perform post installation steps to grant the remote agent enough rights to perform the required operations. Update the CA Messaging Queuing Server to start with an account granted enough rights on the Exchange Server and the ADS Domain for all mailbox operations on the Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 Server.

  Note: The Exchange 2007 Remote Agent does not return inherited mailbox rights.

  Note: Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 do 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.
