Hi Michael, There is a possibility that I missed your response so forgive me for sending this again.
I was thinking a scenario where I host a customer's application and Domain Controller servers as (IAAS) but want to provide a shared hosted exchange to multiple customers (Maybe during a migration possibly. So in my cloud I have customers AD and my Hosted Exchange with its own AD and they log on to the hosted exchange with their own AD account, so something that I can sync multiple customers ADs user accounts with my Hosted exchange created user accounts if need be. Unless there is a preferred way? From: Paul Cookman [mailto:paul.cook...@selection.co.uk] Sent: 16 December 2011 16:08 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Hosting with SP2.

When you talk about "syncing accounts" you have to define what attributes you are talking about and what the goal of the sync is. Nothing that I can think of syncs "everything". Regards, Michael B.

I am new to hosting but was looking to sync customer AD accounts to AD accounts on a hosted Exchange. This is if they want to keep their own AD. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

You've gotta roll-your-own with FIM and/or with DirSync and/or with ADFS (or some other toolset that does the same things). Regards, Michael B.

Thank you Michael, That is great information for me, I really appreciate it. If a customer wants to keep their own separate AD for their own reasons, how do you get around that? From: Michael B.

FYI: I verified with the appropriate people in the Exchange product group today that they have no intention of providing detailed step-by-step instructions for multi-tenancy in SP2. I guess I could write one, but that would be a major task. Also, PFs will not be supported. I was also told why, but that's under NDA. Suffice it to say, there is a good reason. Regards, Michael B.

Ok, how do you get around having 50 customers and say 3 users called John Smith (JSmith), I tried creating different UPNs so they could log onto OWA separately for each company. us...@company1.com<mailto:us...@company1.com> us...@company2.com<mailto:us...@company2.com> Also, any info on Public folder tree per customer would be great!

Things are different now. ABPs is not true multi tenancy the way /Hosting was/is. If the desire is to have 2 or more Orgs pointing to the same external contact then you can get away with New-MailContact -Name "Contact A" -ExternalEmailAddress SMTP:t...@test.com<mailto:smtp%3at...@test.com> -PrimarySmtpAddress a...@a.com<mailto:a...@a.com> New-MailContact -Name "Contact B" -ExternalEmailAddress SMTP:t...@test.com<mailto:smtp%3at...@test.com> -PrimarySmtpAddress b...@b.com<mailto:b...@b.com> Since we don't care about duplicate target addresses... But you won't be able to have the same sAMAccountName or proxy address or UPN as Michael stated.

Are you saying I am not missing anything on my configuration, things are just different now? One other thing, can companies keep their own Ads? From: Michael B.

You have to segregate via OU and it works just fine. You can't have a conflicting sAMAccountName or upn, but otherwise - everything else can be identical. Regards, Michael B.

Has anybody managed to get their hands on any command sets for SP2 multi tenancy yet? I played with the address lists and policy's but I must of missed something as I couldn't add two users with the same name between two different companies. In SP1 /Hosting you used the New-Organisation command to segregate in AD.
