Objects

Description

It is not really possible to handle every special case with a dedicated Component. For those scenarios, the Object Component might help: It allows to freely define AD objects (but cannot delete them!)

These objects are not constrained to the Domain Naming Context - it is very much possible to define forest wide objects in the Configuration NC, such as Exchange Service Connection Points.

Example Configuration

Defines a service connection point under the domain-root:

{
    "Path":  "%DomainDN%",
    "Name":  "Core Connection",
    "ObjectClass":  "serviceConnectionPoint",
    "Attributes":  {
        "keywords":  [ "keyword1", "keyword2", "c6195500-2607-44f6-b9d1-85b5601f125f" ],
        "serviceBindingInformation":  "https://core.%DomainFqdn%"
    },
    "AttributesToResolve":  [
        "serviceBindingInformation"
    ]
}
