Exercise 1

Creating a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Management Agent

In this exercise, you will create a management agent by using the predefined Exchange Server

(LDAP-based) management agent type You will configure the management agent for Association

mode and then populate only the metadirectory connector namespace with the Exchange Server

data

Scenario

Your organization uses Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 for their e-mail system You want to bring

the Microsoft Exchange e-mail data into the metadirectory to integrate it with the human resources

data

start MMS Compass, and

then log on to your MMS

server

password

mmsadmin@nwtraders.msft with a password of password

Lightweight Directory

Access Protocol (LDAP)

management agent

then click Create New Management Agent

Management Agent box, type Exchange MA

Exchange (LDAP-based) Management Agent, and then click Create

management agent to run in

Association mode

Directory Specifics tab, on the Mode and Namespace Management tab, under Management Agent Mode, click Association

parameters as follows:

LDAP server

address/name: server

(where server is your

computer name)

LDAP TCP/IP port: 391

Context prefix:

ou=serversite,o=domain

(where server is your

computer name and domain

is your domain name)

Login as:

cn=Administrator,cn=do

main

Login password: password

the LDAP server address/name box, type server (where server is your

computer name)

indicating all the parameters are correct

Lab B: Configuring Management Agent Modes and Scheduling Management Agent Operation 3

Why is LDAP port 391 used when the MMS Server installation uses port 390?

LDAP port 391 is used because a connection to Exchange Server 5.5 is being configured and Exchange Server 5.5 has been configured for that port

management agent to

import the Microsoft

Exchange objects into the

connector namespace

Verify that connector

namespace objects were

created

pane, click Operate MA

Management Agent Logs tab, click Run the Management Agent

The Operator's Log displays the importing of the Exchange objects into the connector namespace

OK to close the Operate the Management Agent dialog box

entries have been created

Was it necessary to run both the Discovery phase and the Update phase to populate the connector namespace with entries, considering that no metaverse namespace entries were altered? What role did the management agent mode have in this process?

Yes, the Discovery phase was needed to extract the data from Exchange Server 5.5 into import files The Update phase was needed to take the import files and create the connector namespace entries Association mode prevented entries from being created in the metaverse namespace

Exercise 2

Scheduling the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Management

Agent

In this exercise, you will schedule the Exchange management agent to update the metadirectory

once a week

Scenario

Your organization uses Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 for their e-mail system This e-mail account information needs to be periodically updated in the metadirectory To help expedite the update

process, you need to automate this task

to run every week starting in

five minutes

selected, and then in the control pane, click Schedule

hh:mm is five minutes after your computer's clock in a 24-hour

format), and then click to check the box for today

checkbox, and then click OK

Wait five minutes before proceeding to the next task

MA ran according to its

schedule

pane, click Properties
