Scenario with AD-ISW-DS
Hi everyone.
I'm newbie with Directory Server as well with Identity Synchronization for Windows, and I'm facing a situation which I would to receive some tips from anyone.
I have an Active Directory with my current users. I had synchronized it with DS into machine A (Windows) via ISW. Everything runs fine. But this server isn't prepared for use with Messaging server. My idea was replicate this data with a new one, residing in a machine B(linux).
The schema looks like that:
Active Directory ==>DS(Windows) ==> DS(Linux) ==>Messaging(Linux).
Running Directory Preparation Tool into machine B, it created an OU called mydomain.com, where all users that uses Messaging server must be.
Now, my doubts:
1 - Can I create the same OU in DS at machine A, replicate it to machine B, and Messaging server will be able to understand that replicated OU like its users?
2 - Is there any way to remove the DS at machine B, and tell Messaging server to use just the machine A as its users source?
Can anyone suggest me some points about this situation?
Best regards,
Luiz Felipe de Souza Gomes.
