Rule description

This rule is used in a hybrid environment. It adds remote mailboxes to the newly created Active Directory Users.

Note: Don't forget to assign the users a mailbox license option.  

 

When to use this rule

Use this rule when you need to create Exchange remote mailboxes to Active Directory users.

By default, this rule is used in a hybrid environment as a post-rule for these web-actions:

  • New User
  • Clone User 
  • New User with Linked Mailbox
  • New Linked Mailbox
  • New Equipment Mailbox
  • New Room Mailbox
  • New Shared Mailbox
  • Enable Mailbox

It adds remote mailboxes to Active Directory users, created by these actions if needed. It is also possible to assign mailbox license option during new user creation. 

This rule fills in the corresponding Exchange on-premises attributes on the user's Active Directory account. It allows seeing users' remote mailboxes in the on-premises Exchange Admin Center. 

Note: Please be aware that the creation of the remote mailbox isn't immediate action and depends on the directory synchronization schedule.

 

Rule Settings

Query Section

Setting name Description

Add Remote Mailboxes Users in this Domain/OU

This setting defines the search query scope.

To improve query performance, limit the scope to specific OU.

Note: As this rule is run as post-rule, by default query scope is taken from the web query of the previous rule. 

Query Criteria

Query criteria are sent with the query and may improve query performance.

Note: As this rule is run as post-rule, by default query criteria uses ObjectGUID of user created by the previous rule. 
Tip: For different samples on the criteria builder, see KB20180410-1.
