Rule description
This rule adds an on-premises mailbox to an Active Directory user account when a user creates a new account in Web UI.
An instance of the rule is automatically created during installation under the HOME > RULES > WebAdmin Rules (Pre-configured) folder. This instance is linked to the New User (AD), Clone User, Enable Mailbox, New Linked Mailbox and New User with Linked Mailbox actions as a post-action rule in the Rules to run after section.
When to use this rule
Typically you do not need to create an instance of this rule, as it is automatically created during installation and linked to the New User (AD) and other Web UI actions. The rule is executed when a user selects Exchange On-premises mailbox type options in the Web UI for the created user account mailbox.
