Environment |
| The environment involves a mid-size company
with 1 central domain (mycompany.com), 1 central
domain controller running Windows 2003 (DC01),
1 file server running Windows 2000 (FILESRV01)
and one database server running SQL Server
2000.
The
domain
currently
hosts
500
users. MyCompany's
users currently use a third-party email client
in combination with a pop3-based mail
server. |
| |
Problem
|
| MyCompany management has decided to implement
Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Outlook for all
users. You
are authorized to purchase and install a new
server (EXCHSRV01) and assign new mail boxes
for all Active Directory user accounts. In
order to keep the users' SIDs intact, the Active
Directory user accounts must be updated to
reflect the new Exchange mail box. Also, MyCompany
has created a specific policy for the address
lists, which means the Active Directory display
name has to be updated as well. |
| |
Solution
Guide
|
| Let's first discuss the logical steps needed
to perform the Exchange mail box creation and
Active Directory update. First, we need to
look up the user account in Active Directory,
then create a new mail box on the user object
with custom email addresses, and (if necessary)
update the users' display names so they are
easy to sort in address lists. |
