Creating an Active Directory Management Agent
In this exercise, you will create an Active Directory management agent to integrate the information from the Claims and Investigations departments into the metadirectory
Scenario
The Claims and Investigations departments of Northwind Traders have started to deploy Active
Directory You need to integrate the department’s Active Directory information into the
metadirectory This will lay the groundwork for deploying Active Directory throughout the
organization

Joining Active Directory Entries into the Metaverse Namespace
In this exercise, you will integrate the Claims and Investigations information into the metadirectory
by joining the Active Directory data with the existing metaverse namespace data
Scenario
The Claims and Investigations departments of Northwind Traders have started to deploy Active
Directory You need to integrate their Active Directory information into the metadirectory This
will lay the groundwork for deploying Active Directory throughout the organization

Was the management agent configured for delta mode? What mode did the management run in and why?
Yes, from the Operational Settings tab, the mode is set to delta From the Operator's Log, the
management agent ran in full mode because it automatically switches to this mode the first time the management agent runs, thereby initially populating the metadirectory

What do the two entries directly beneath domain MA represent?
The configuration.domain.nwtraders.msft entry represents Active Directory's configuration partition
The domain.nwtraders.msft entry represents Active Directory's domain partition

Join, and then click Yes to close the Join confirmation dialog box Note: There are a number of default Active Directory accounts that are still disconnectors This is acceptable
because there are no corresponding entries in the metaverse namespace that match these Active Directory accounts

Establishing Attribute Flow
In this exercise, you will establish attribute flow rules to update the metaverse namespace with the
Active Directory user principal name
Scenario
Northwind Traders recently integrated their Active Directory user accounts from their Claims and
Investigations departments The Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail address must match the Active
Directory user principal names for these users
to flow the mail attribute
from Active Directory to the
metaverse namespace
the control pane, click Attribute Flow
Rules tab, in the Metaverse Attributes box, click mail
<
The specific attribute flow rule $mv.mail = $cd.mail appears

namespace entry for Adri
Duhem in the Claims
department is blank

Management Agent Logs tab, display the Operator’s Log
The Operator's Log displays the management agent's progress
What is the e-mail address for Adri Duhem in the metaverse namespace?
Trang 6Tasks Detailed Steps
Why did the update of the mail attribute values in the metaverse namespace not occur?
The update of the mail attribute values in the metaverse namespace did not occur because there were
no changes to the connected directory objects resulting in no objects being processed in delta mode
update the mail attribute
values in the metaverse
namespace from Active
Directory
Operational Settings tab, clear the Operate in delta mode check box
The Operator's Log displays the management agent's progress
What is the e-mail address for Adri Duhem in the metaverse namespace?
The e-mail address for Adri Duhem is now aduhem@nwtraders.msft
