Add Mailbox and Public Folder databases to Resource Manager

In this procedure you will use the AddExchangeResources Sample XML to add the mailbox and public folder databases to the Exchange Server 2007 Resource Manager.

Procedure W03-DWHE.86: To add Mailbox and Public Folder databases to Resource Manager

1. Log on to MPS01 as a Fabrikam\administrator.

2. Edit<installdir>:\Program Files\Microsoft Hosting\Provisioning\Samples\Exchange 2007 Resource Manager\AddExchangeResources.xml.

3. Modify the <mailStores> section so there is a unique entry for each Exchange mailstore that you want added to Resource Management. Ensure that the <serverName>, <mailStoreName>, <megabytes> and <shared> values are appropriate for your organization. For example:

   <mailStores> 
      <mailStore> 
         <serverName>EXMBXCLUS01</serverName> 
         <mailStoreName>EXMBXCLUS01-SG01-HostedMailstore01</mailStoreName> 
         <megabytes>20000</megabytes> 
         <shared>1</shared> 
      </mailstore> 
      <mailStore> 
         <serverName>EXMBXCLUS01</serverName> 
         <mailStoreName>EXMBXCLUS01-SG02-HostedMailstore02</mailStoreName> 
         <megabytes>20000</megabytes> 
         <shared>1</shared> 
      </mailstore> 
   </mailStores>
   

4. Modify the <publicStores> section so there is a unique entry for each Exchange Public Folder store that you want added to Resource Management. Ensure that the <serverName>, <publicStoreName>, and <megabytes> values are appropriate for your organization. For example:

   <publicStores> 
      <publicStore> 
         <serverName>ExMBXOAB01</serverName> 
         <publicStoreName>PublicFolderStore1</publicStoreName> 
         <megabytes>50000</megabytes> 
      </publicStore> 
   </publicStores>
   

5. Edit the <preferredDomainController> element to match the name of the preferred Active Directory domain controller; for example:

   <preferredDomainController>ad01.fabrikam.com</preferredDomainController>
   

6. Save the edited file.

7. At a command prompt, change to the <installdir>:\Program Files\Microsoft Hosting\Provisioning\Samples\Exchange 2007 Resource Manager directory and run the following command:

   provtest AddExchangeResources.xml /x2
   

   Note

   /x2 formats the XML results for maximum readability.

   <preferredDomainController>ad01.fabrikam.com</preferredDomainController>
   

4. Modify the <servers> section so there is a unique entry for each Exchange OAB Server that you want added to Resource Management. Ensure that the <name> and <capacity> values are appropriate for your organization. For example:

   <servers> 
      <server> 
         <name>EXMBXOAB01</name> 
         <capacity>1000</capacity> 
      </server> 
   </servers>

6. At a command prompt, change to the <installdir>:\Program Files\Microsoft Hosting\Provisioning\Samples\Exchange 2007 OAB Resource Manager directory and run the following command:
