Stores data for the Exchange migration service to use when moving mailboxes in batches.

This includes Rights Management Services, cross-premises mail-flow monitoring probes and responses, notifications, online archives, messaging records management, and cross-premises free/busy information.

This mailbox stores data used to maintain federation between different Exchange organizations. The following table lists each type of arbitration mailbox and their responsibilities.

Arbitration mailboxes are used for storing different types of system data and for managing messaging approval workflow. This successful implementation resulted in cost savings for the client through automation of user identities, Office 365 licensing accuracy, and increased the client’s overall security by ensuring users are correctly onboarded and offboarded.Exchange 2016 CU8 or later contains seven special system mailboxes known as arbitration mailboxes. This enables acquisitions to be placed under MIM identity management without the need for additional software changes. When a new acquisition is being configured for identity management in MIM, the client adds several entries to a database table and creates a new MIM Active Directory connector based on a provided template. To address the requirement for a pluggable architecture to consume and manage identities of acquired organizations, ActiveIdM implemented MIM logic which is compatible with any acquired organization’s Active Directory forest. This provided permissions for VPN access, file share access, SSO application access, and Office 365 licensing. MIM dynamic groups where implemented for birthright group assignment. A two custom MIM connectors were created, one for importing HR data from the client’s proprietary HR system to MIM and a second connector for integrating with SolarWinds for trouble ticket and asset management. With thoughtful planning and preparation, ActiveIdM created a solution based on Azure, Office 365, and Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 (MIM). The solution also integrates with SolarWinds for service desk operations. The solution handles user onboarding, offboarding, birthright group assignments, Office 365 licensing. Success Story: International Construction Companyĭesign and implement an identity management solution that can interface with a proprietary HR system and manage user identities for a global user community.
