AD User object is a linked-mailbox object type in adaxes

Question

We created a Scheduled Task and chose our user organisational unit as the activity scope. Then we realized that only about 10 % of the users are object-type: user and 90 % object-type: linked-mailbox.

Unfortunatley we cannot add multiple Object Types to a scheduled task. Therefore we have to create seperate schedued tasks for each Object Type.

Example: We need to archive the homedir of a linked mailbox (userobject). But there's no option in adaxes. But there is one for the object type User. Why that ?

Answer 1

Hello,

This behavior is by design. However, thank you for the suggestion, we will consider adding the action.

As of now, you can use the following PowerShell script to archive home directories of linked mailboxes in Business Rules, Custom Commands and Scheduled Tasks:

$Context.TargetObject.ArchiveHomeDirectory("\\server\Share\%username%.zip", 1)

For details, have a look at method ArchiveHomeDirectory in the following SDK article: http://adaxes.com/sdk/?IAdmUser3.html.
