AD connector sync user attribute email

Question

Hello there,

the documentation for the ad-connector says that the mail attribute of a ad user is mapped to the email property of class Microsoft.AD.User. If I call an user object there appears no email property.

$class = Get-SCSMClass -name "Microsoft.AD.User"   
  
Get-SCSMClassInstance -class $class -filter 'UserName -eq "firstname.lastname"' | select *  

Is there a way to customize the ad connector?

Answer 1

The email address is not a property/attribute of the Microsoft.AD.User class in SCSM.
The email-address is stored as an object of the System.Notification.Endpoint class.
The relationship "System.UserHasPreference" is combining the AD user object with the email-address object.
This way one user could have more than one email address (user object relates to n email address objects).

Maybe this is helpful.
