Defining a Unique Email Address and Validating Mail Suffix
In addition to creating a valid and unique email address – as defined here: https://blog.oholics.net/defining-a-unique-email-address/
I also need to detect where those addresses might need to be changed. The AD and Exchange infrastructure supports a number of different tenant organisations, each with their own needs. There is regular horizontal movement of users between these organisations.
So I have added to my code to define a unique email address – the additional content starts at Line 72 – statement “If mventry.Item(“mail”).IsPresent Then“. Note that attributes are set on the import from HR to define who is entitled to an MBX and those who should just be mail enabled. The current code just logs out those things for action, but I have also included making these events throw an exception to the Sync Engine.
It was interesting to see just how many people are not really entitled to a mailbox, but who have one anyway!
