Hello,

A new question : when I create a new contact in Adaxes, I'd like the email address automatically created.
How can I do this ?

Thanks for your response.

Update 2015

Starting with Adaxes 2015 you can automatically establish email addresses after creating contacts using the Establish email address in Exchange action. The business rule will look like the following: image.png

Hello Yoann,

Currently, you cannot automatically establish an email address for a Contact using a Business Rule action. This feature is planned for Adaxes 2012.2.

Currently, you can make it with a PowerShell Script. The script for Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 will be as follows:

$mailAlias = "%firstname%%lastname%"
$domainDN = "DC=mydomain,DC=com" #TODO: modify me
$adminGroupDN = "CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,$domainDN"
try
{
    $Context.TargetObject.MailEnable($mailAlias, "%mail%", "SMTP", "Adaxes://$adminGroupDN")
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage($_.Exception.Message, "Error")
}

Replace mydomain and com in $domainDN with the appropriate values.

To launch this script automatically on contact creation, create a Business Rule that will be triggered after creating a Contact:

  1. Create a new Business Rule.
  2. On the 2nd step of the Business Rule creation wizard, select Contact and After Creating a Contact.
  3. On the 3rd step of the wizard, add the Run a program or PowerShell script action and paste the script.

Thanks a lot

I just had to adapt the script for exchange 2010 :

$mailAlias = "%firstname%%lastname%"
$domainDN = "DC=mydomain,DC=com" #TODO: modify me
$domainCN = "CN=mydomain" #TODO: modify me
$adminGroupDN = "CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,$domainCN,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,$domainDN"
try
{
    $Context.TargetObject.MailEnable($mailAlias, "%mail%", "SMTP", "Adaxes://$adminGroupDN")
}
catch
{
   $Context.LogMessage($_.Exception.Message, "Error")
}

Starting from Adaxes 2013.1, you can automatically establish e-mail addresses for Contacs. For this purpose, use the Establish e-mail address in Exchange action. This action is also available for Users and Distribution Groups.
