Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Deployment and Migration SP1 and SP2 - 6 – Deployment and Interoperability Guidelines for the Active Directory Connector
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Deployment and Migration SP1 and SP2, 2006Co-Authors: Kieran MccorryAbstract:This chapter explores the functionality aspects of Active Directory Connector usage in a coexisting Exchange 5.5 and Active Directory environment. The objects contained in the Active Directory organizational units are mapped to a single container on the target Exchange 5.5 server; then the standard legacy Exchange Directory replication model allows this container to be seen across all legacy Exchange sites. When the Active Directory Connector synchronizes an Exchange 5.5 distribution list over to the Active Directory, it always creates a mail-enabled universal distribution group as the synchronized object. Distributing Active Directory Connectors implies the use of a set of connection agreements per Active Directory Connector that synchronizes Exchange 5.5 containers and Active Directory organizational units closer to one and in a timely fashion. An Active Directory Connector hosts a connection agreement that synchronizes data over a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) connection, typically between separate Exchange 5.5 and Active Directory servers.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Deployment and Migration SP1 and SP2 - 2 – Active Directory Connector Synchronization
Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 Deployment and Migration, 2004Co-Authors: Kieran MccorryAbstract:This chapter explores the basic operation of the Active Directory Connector, and how it synchronizes data from Exchange 5.5 to Active Directory and vice versa. A clear and complete understanding of Active Directory Connector operation is the key to any Exchange 5.5-to-Exchange 2003 migration project. The Active Directory Connector is one of the most powerful tools available to the messaging consultant. Exchange 2003 doesn't have its own built-in Directory service; instead it uses the Active Directory. During a migration exercise from a legacy Exchange 5.5 environment to Exchange 2003, one of the most important aspects of coexistence is that of synchronizing Directory information between the Exchange 5.5 Directory Service and the Windows 2003 Active Directory. The Active Directory Connector does this, as it maps the Exchange 5.5 Directory Service object types to the Active Directory, and vice versa. The Active Directory Connector available with Exchange 2003 is not that much different from the Active Directory Connector that was available with Exchange 2000. The core functionality remains more or less the same, and only minor aspects of its operation have changed, and it includes a number of bug fixes.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Deployment and Migration SP1 and SP2 - 3 – Advanced Active Directory Connector Configuration
Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 Deployment and Migration, 2004Co-Authors: Kieran MccorryAbstract:This chapter discusses some lesser known configuration options that can be set on the Active Directory Connector to give a greater flexibility with Active Directory Connector synchronization. Two different mechanisms control the selection of objects for Active Directory Connector synchronization: using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search filters, and using Active Directory Connector custom object matching. While the Active Directory Connector has been in existence since Exchange 2000 first hit the streets, the Active Directory Connector has undergone quite a few refinements over the years, so the version of the Active Directory Connector that we use today with Exchange 2003 is much more powerful than earlier versions. Many bug fixes have been applied silently to the Active Directory Connector, and there has been significant behind-the-scenes functionality enhancement, most notably the increased functionality to support cross-site mailbox moves introduced with Exchange 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Active Directory Cookbook, 3rd Edition
2008Co-Authors: Laura E. Hunter, Robbie AllenAbstract:When you need practical hands-on support for Active Directory, the updated edition of this extremely popular Cookbook provides quick solutions to more than 300 common (and uncommon) problems you might encounter when deploying, administering, and automating Microsoft's network Directory service. For the third edition, Active Directory expert Laura E. Hunter offers troubleshooting recipes based on valuable input from Windows administrators, in addition to her own experience. You'll find solutions for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode), multi-master replication, Domain Name System (DNS), Group Policy, the Active Directory Schema, and many other features. The Active Directory Cookbook will help you: Perform Active Directory tasks from the command line Use scripting technologies to automate Active Directory tasks Manage new Active Directory features, such as Read-Only Domain Controllers, fine-grained password policies, and more Create domains and trusts Locate users whose passwords are about to expire Apply a security filter to group policy objects Check for potential replication problems Restrict hosts from performing LDAP queries View DNS server performance statistics Each recipe includes a discussion explaining how and why the solution works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. Active Directory Cookbook is ideal for any IT professional using Windows Server 2008, Exchange 2007, and Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, including Active Directory administrators looking to automate task-based solutions. "It is rare for me to visit a customer site and not see a copy of Active Directory Cookbook on ashelf somewhere, which is a testament to its usefulness. The Cookbook takes the pain out of everyday AD tasks by providing concise, clear and relevant recipes. The fact that the recipes are provided using different methods (graphical user interface, command line and scripting) means that the book is suitable for anyone working with AD on a day-to-day basis. The introduction of PowerShell examples in this latest edition will be of particular interest for those looking to transition from VBScript. Laura has also done a great job in extending the Cookbook in this edition to encompass the broad range of changes to AD in Windows Server 2008." --Tony Murray, Founder of Activedir.org and Directory Services MVP "If you already understand Active Directory fundamentals and are looking for a quick solution to common Active Directory related tasks, look no further, you have found the book that you need." --joe Richards, Directory Services MVP "The Active Directory Cookbook is the real deal... a soup-to-nuts catalog of every administrative task an Active Directory administrator needs to perform.

Active Directory designing deploying and running Active Directory
2008Co-Authors: Brian Desmond, Robbie Allen, Joe Richards, Alistair G LowenorrisAbstract:Windows 2000 Active Directory is a notably authoritative and engaging guide to the Microsoft Active Directory (AD) for any administrator or developer making the move to the new Windows and this powerful Directory standard. Articulate and technically astute, the author comes across as a trusted advisor, providing an expert's view of designing the layout of your company's Active Directory schema. In realistic terms, he shows you how AD can coexist with Unix directories. The book not only provides a collection of screen shots (though there are hands-on tutorials for specific tasks) but also a nicely in-depth tour of what Internet directories are and what advantages Active Directory offers. Case studies on sample domains and organization units (OUs) for sample companies, including a model global corporation, will help you cope with the design of even the most complex directories. Hints for limiting "domains" and favoring the more flexible "organizational units" (OUs) will also help you think in Windows 2000 terms. Later sections of the book delve into Active Directory Services Interface (ASDI) scripting using Windows Script Host (WSH), Visual Basic, and even ASPs for browser-based administration. The tips and sample scripts for a variety of common administrative tasks, such as adding new users, changing passwords, and the like, assume very little programming background. This focus on the practical side of administration rounds out an extremely useful and technically savvy guide to Windows 2000 that can definitely simplify the life of any administrator, manager, or developer upgrading to the latest Windows. --Richard Dragan
