ms-Exch-Assistant-Name attribute

Question

Hi people, 
 I was wondering if anyone knows if the above attribute can be filled natively using a field within One Identity. I couldn't find a corresponding field in the Exchange 2013 synchronization editor project. 
 I know I will be able to fill this field using, for example a custom field and a custom process, but I wanted to know if any of you guys know the standard field for this. 
 
 Thanks in advance for your help, 
 Ryo

I just looked under my 8.x sync projects one for Active Roles as the target and the other for Active Directory and this attribute exists but there is no property mapping rule, see screen shot below:

What version are you using? You would have to create a virtual attribute on the One Identity Manager side and then create a mapping rule to match up the new virtual attribute and the msExchAssistantName attribute in the target

I was able to get this to work by extending the table ADSaccount to allow for a new column, I called it CCC_ExchAssistant using the SchemaExtension tool. I then opened the Synchronization editor and loaded the sync project for Active Directory. I then clicked on One Identity Manager connection and clicked on update schema. 
 
 Once it was done I had to activate the project again (instead of deactivate project it will say activate project). 
 
 I then clicked on mappings and went to User and then clicked on add rule under Property mapping rules and set my the column that I created above (string) and from the target I set the msExchAssistantName. I set the mapping direction to Identity Manager only. 
 
 I then populated the attribute msExchAssistantName via Active Directory Users and Computers and then started a sync with this target system in the Sync Editor. Once completed I checked the user in manager and I can now see the attribute populated. 
 
 I would highly recommend testing this in a lower environment first before putting into production to ensure you get the desired results.
