Mail forwarding for users

Question

Hi,

i look for a solution as a helpdesk point were the agent can establish a mail forwarding in Adaxes if possible with end date.

I've set a custom command with paramters, date and deputy, but I'm struggeling with the deputy, because the PS script awaits an mailadress.

Is there a smoother solution?

Hello Boris,

There is no need to use scripts. You can use the Modify Exchange properties action in your custom command. The forwarding recipient can be directly passed to the action using the corresponding value reference: For details about using the action, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_AutomatingDailyTasks_AutomateExchangeMailboxConfiguration.htm.

As for disabling the feature on a specific date, your custom command should save the specified one to a user attribute. For example, you can use one of Adaxes custom date attributes (e.g. CustomAttribtueDate1). Then, a scheduled task will disable the feature and clear the attribute when time comes. Finally, you should have something like the following:
