Does 1IM v7.1.1 support multiple DAGs in Exchange 2013?

xd
over 7 years ago

The customer has two DAGs of Exchange 2013. The mailbox placement is based upon the employee’s location through DAGs ((one for North America and another for International).

The customer just upgraded to v7.1.1 and wanted 1IM to support two DAGs.

Is it possible to intercept Exchange provision Ad-hoc projection to insert the check that determines which of DAGs should be executed for a new mailbox creation?

If it is possible, where is the interception to look into it to add the customization?

Thank you!

    You have two options to choose the mail box database during creation:

    1. You let Exchange choose, which mail box database to choose. In that case, do not specify the mail box database in the mailbox object in One IDentity Manager
    2. You specify the mail box database in the mail box object in One Identity Manager based on the location of the person assigned to the mailbox. You could use IT operation data assigned to the locations to achieve that.

    There is no need to intercept the data during the ad-hoc projection jobs. Just specify the data correctly in the mail box objects during creation.

    Hi Markus,

    We did try these two options and 2nd option was what we implemented in v6.
    With option 1, 1IM does place the mailbox on the database through one of the DAGs but does not based on the employee's location to pickup correct DAG (there are two DAGs, occasionally US based employee's mailbox being created on the database for international employee, and vice versa).
    With option 2, 1IM always places the mailbox on the physical databases we map through IT Operating data thus DAG is not in the picture with this option.
    The customer wants to have mailbox placement through DAG so that they can optimize the databases utilization and disk spaces.
    I wonder with option 1 if there might be somewhere within v7.1.1 I can put the code to have 1IM tell Exchange to use a specific DAG instead the random selection. Thanks!

    The PowerShell cmdlet "Enable-Mailbox" from Exchange only allow us to specify a specific mailbox database or to use the auto-selection by Exchange during the creation of the mailbox.

    There is no way to specify a DAG to choose a database from as far as we know.
