Installing a Mailbox Agent with MBINST
To install a mailbox agent with MBINST
-
To install the SampleMBA mailbox agent at the Microsoft Northwest site with the server EDKDOCS20, type the following at a command prompt:
MBINST /SITEDN=/O=MICROSOFT /OU=NORTHWEST /DISPLAY_NAME=SMBAGENT /RELATIVE_DN=/CN=RECIPIENTS /CN=SAMPLEMBA /SERVER=EDKDOCS20
/EXTNAME=SAMPLEMBA
-
Use the SERVINST sample application to register the service so it can be managed through the Services dialog box of the Control Panel. See SERVINST: Installing a Service.
-
Use the PROFINST sample application to install a profile that allows you to log on as the service and view the messages in the mailbox. See PROFINST: Installing a MAPI Profile.
-
If the mailbox agent is to use an Administrator extension DLL, create a new directory and copy the DLL into the directory. Then use the EXTNINST sample application to install the DLL. See EXTNINST: Installing an Administrator Extension.
-
To verify that you have correctly installed the mailbox agent, look at the Recipients container in the Administrator program. It should contain an entry for the mailbox agent.
This procedure creates a Mailbox-Agent object in the directory, and optionally assigns an Administrator extension DLL to it. A mailbox is created for the mailbox agent when a profile is created for it and it logs on for the first time.
