Advanced Mapping

 

How is the advanced mapping info accessed?  

Click on a mapping and choose the Advanced button. You can then customize the mapping behavior.

 

What are the components of an Advanced Mapping?  

There are several components in an advanced mapping. Please review the advanced mappings guide before making any changes to an existing mapping.

  • The first component is the value. This is single value, or, it could be a formula that will be used to determine the final written value. This can be a combination of functions, text and/or operations to construct the final value.

    There are some default values that already exist. If you do not have experience with advanced mappings, we suggest that you do not change the default values.

  • The condition is a formula that must result in a True statement in order for the attribute to be mapped. It is a qualifier that acts like an on-off switch. If the condition sections is empty, as in this example the switch is On by default.
  • The target attribute is the userprincipal name. The value that will be written, will be calculated by is called a Function. In this case, it is the replacedomain function. This function will take the userprincipal name from the source, and will replace the domain portion with the target domain that is selected in the StageData step of your workflow, referred to as profile, in this function. Please note that some functions are specific to the workflow type, such as local to local.

Reset Mappings

How do you reset the mappings?  

You can undo all of any changes that you have made by clicking the advanced button resetting to the default mappings. This is going to set all mappings back to the factory default. Any mappings that you have manually added and any advanced customization that you have made to a particular mapping will be lost. With that in mind, before you choose reset mapping, it would be a best practice to choose export all, to save your customizations to a file. This file contains all current mappings.

Agents

What is the Directory Sync agent?  

The Directory Sync agent is the key component that communicates between a local Active Directory environment and the Directory Sync service.

 

Where do you install the agent?  

The agent must be installed in every forest that you plan to include as a Directory Sync environment. We suggest that you create a virtual machine exclusively for this purpose. Review the Directory Sync Requirements for the minimal hardware and software requirements.

 

How do I download and install the agent?  

First, choose the environment that the agent will be associated with.

You will be able to download the latest version of the agent from the Directory Sync agent screen. Copy the URL and the access key that will be needed during the install of the agent. The downloadable executable is the same for all projects, it is the Registration URL and Registration Key that makes the agent unique when it is installed.

To install of the agent enter credentials that have read or read\write access to the domain, depending on the direction of synchronization.

Copy and paste the information from the Directory Sync agent screen.

No further action is needed on the workstation. A look at services confirms that the Directory Sync agent is running.

A list of agents appears on summary screen, including status information as well as the registration URL and access keys should you need them again in the future.

Please Note: If using the agent Auto-Upgrade feature and deployment software that uses MSI ProductCode based detection, the Auto-upgrade feature should be disabled after initial deployment or the detection method should verify via a folder path.

 

Where do I manage agents?  

To manage agents, simply open the left navigation menu and click Agents, located under Setup, see figure 1.

Figure 1: Directory Sync Setup and Settings Menu

Figure 1: Directory Sync Setup and Settings Menu

 

How do I manage the agents?  

On the Agents page, you can check the current status of your current agents or add new ones. Select an agent for additional options. You have the option to copy the Registration URL or the Registration Key if you need to reinstall the agent for any reason. The History button will give you details on the run history. When the agent is updated, any agent using the old version will offer you the upgrade option so that you can update your current agent installation.

 

Do I need to configure a Local Directory Sync agent if my tenant is a hybrid with local Active Directory attached?

A Local Directory Sync agent is only required when working with Hybrid MailUsers (a mailuser object synced with a local active directory object). A Directory Sync agent is used to configure the mail-forwarding rule on the local AD object when working with Hybrid MailUsers. A Directory Sync agent is not required when working with Mailbox and Cloud Only Objects as mail-forwarding rules are configured via EXO PowerShell.

 

How do I uninstall an agent?  

If you need to uninstall an agent from any machine, in order to reinstall on the same machine, you must first delete the registry folder located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE> Quest > Agent and then uninstall.

Afterwards, simply create a new agent (with a new access key) under Agents managements from the left navigation menu before re-installing on the same machine.
