Not really sure if this post should go here or in the Exchange forum - I will try here first..
We are looking at moving our in house, non-Exchange mail implementation to Office 365. In doing so we would look to utilize ADFS to give us greater control over location based access restrictions, a business requirement.
Given this, in reading about solving this issue I am finding that if I use ADFS, which requires DirSync - the 'copy' of my AD in Office365 is read only - all changes must be made in the on-prem AD. This makes sense.
I am finding that the only *supported* way to manage Exchange in this scenario is to use ADSI Edit / Powershell to manage the individual Exchange attributes within Active Directory.
I think I've got 2 questions as of now -
1. I haven't been able to find any documentation on this. Coming from a non-Exchange background, having to manage these by individual attributes, I am looking for some sort of information about what the attributes are (other than ms-Exch*), what they mean, and what the possible values are for these attributes.
2. Are there any tools or products out there that can simplify this?
Thanks,
sb
