Creating mailbox when moving user

Question

Greetings,

We're changing the way we manage users via Adaxes and one of the changes is that new users won't be created through the Adaxes web interface. A script will create new users and put them in a specific OU from where our user admins will grab the users, rename them and move them to another OU.
I have to fire off some business rules based on rename, one of them being create mailbox.
I can't figure out how to do this, since the built-in rule only allows for triggering on Create User.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I should manage this?

Regards,
Troels

Hello,

Create Exchange mailbox action is not available After renaming a User. Thank you for pointing this out to us, we will consider implementing this possibility in future releases.

As a workaround you can create a Business Rule with following conditions: After Updating a User and If Full Name has changed. To do so:

1. Launch Adaxes Administration Console.
2. Create a new Business Rule.
3. In the 2nd step of the wizard select After Updating a User.
   
4. Click Add Action and select Create an Exchange Mailbox.
5. Enter the Alias and select the Mailbox store.
   
6. Right-click the action you’ve just added and click Add condition.
   
7. Select If <property> changed.
8. Select If Full Name has changed.
   
9. Click OK and finish creating the Business Rule.
