Script de PowerShell para migrar utilizadores de Lotus Notes

Há algum tempo atrás eu escrevi um post sobre a minha experiência de utilização do Transporter Suite na migração de Lotus Notes para Exchange Server 2007.

Nesse post eu mencionava que tinha tido alguns problemas na fase de migração de utilizadores e que por isso tinha feito um script em VBScript para realizar essa tarefa.

Não sei se está relacionado ou não com o mesmo erro que eu tive, mas o  'The CollabTools' Blog disponibilizou um PowerShell script que faz mais ou menos a mesma coisa:

# The script below provides the same functionality as move-dominoUser but does not enable
# the email address policy generator [RUS]. The default behavior of move-dominoUser is to
# mailbox enable the user object, apply email address policy as primary addresses and
# then add email addresses from contacts as secondary email addresses. If you intend to
# persist contact email addresses as primary email addresses of the mailbox enabled user,
# then this script is for you.

O script de PowerShell está disponível neste link.

Sincronização da GAL entre organizações Exchange 2007

Tal como mencionei previamente, a sincronização da GAL em ambientes 100% Exchange 2007 não era suportado até à disponibilização do Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 Feature Pack 1.

Para quem está a pensar implementar um mecanismo destes, há boas notícias: a Microsoft acaba de disponibilizar o documento técnico Synchronizing a Global Address List in an Exchange 2007 Environment.

Brief Description
ILM 2007 FP1 provides a solution to synchronize the global address list (GAL) between two Active Directory forests in a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1(SP1) infrastructure. The goal of a GAL synchronization solution is to synchronize users, groups, and contacts from one forest with contact objects to another forest.

What This Document Covers
This document outlines the necessary steps to implement a simple GAL synchronization solution between two forests in an Exchange 2007 environment. This document guides you to:

• Populate the initial Active Directory and Exchange 2007 SP1 infrastructures for both forests using scripts provided in the Appendix.
• Assign the necessary permissions to the accounts used in the management agents for GAL synchronization,
• Configure ILM 2007 FP1 to perform GAL synchronization between the two forests.
• Verify that the contacts have successfully synchronized between the two forests.
