! Join connector namespace entries to metaverse namespace entries by using MMS Account Joiner

Prerequisites

Before working on this lab, you must have experience operating management agents

Lab Setup

To complete this lab, you need the following:

! MMS Server and MMS Compass installed

2 Lab A: Configuring Joins

Exercise 1

Joining the Exchange Connector Namespace to the Metaverse

In this exercise, you will define join criteria to join the Microsoft Exchange objects in the connector namespace to the existing metaverse namespace objects that were imported from the Human

Resources management agent

Scenario

The Microsoft Exchange management agent has successfully imported the e-mail information for

the Accounting, Sales, and Marketing employees into the organization's metadirectory connector

namespace Each of the Exchange entries needs to be joined to the existing human resources entries

in the metaverse namespace

start MMS Compass, and

then log on to your MMS

server

password

mmsadmin@nwtraders.msft with a password of password

attribute as the join criteria

to join Microsoft Exchange

connector namespace entries

to the existing human

resources entries in the

metaverse Do not perform

attribute flow during the

join

click Management Agents

pane, click Join

under Join Configuration, clear the Perform attribute flow during

the join checkbox

Note: $cd.cn specifies that the common name from the connected directory (Exchange Server 5.5) should be

matched against every indexed attribute in the metaverse namespace When a unique match is found, the connector namespace and metaverse namespace entries will be joined

tab

The Operator's Join Log displays the results of the join

How many entries were joined? How many entries still have no proposed join?

When the join is performed, 567 entries are joined, and 63 entries have no proposed join

by using the same logon

parameters as MMS

Services menu, and then log on to your MMS server as mmsadmin@nwtraders.msft with a password of password

determine a join rule for the

first unjoined entry

Exchange MA tab, double-click the first entry, Ambers Tomas

namespace information for this entry, and then click OK

The Metadirectory Results displays a green entry for Thomas Ambers, matched by last name

for Thomas Ambers

information for this entry, and then click OK

confirmation dialog box

The Metadirectory Results displays a red icon next to the entry for Thomas Ambers, indicating that a connector namespace entry has been joined to this metaverse namespace entry

Note: In MMS Account Joiner, a green icon next to an entry indicates this connector namespace entry is

disconnected, and a red icon next to an entry indicates that the connector namespace entry has been assigned

to the metaverse namespace

attribute as additional join

criteria and perform the join

display the Configure the Join tab

and ensure that each attribute rule is on a separate line

The Operator's Join Log displays the results of the join.

How many entries were joined? Were there entries with no proposed join? Why were only 62 entries processed when there were 63 disconnectors from the previous server-based join?

When the join is performed, 56 entries are joined, and 6 entries have no proposed join There is one less entry processed than before because you manually joined the entry for Thomas Ambers by using MMS Account Joiner

4 Lab A: Configuring Joins

Of the entries with no proposed join, how many are user accounts?

Three of the six disconnectors are user accounts The other three entries are containers
