Hey guys,
I am just wondering if it is possible to use both SQL and LDAP queries at the same time to get information.
Example on why I want to do this:
I work at a school where we have the need for 2 separate types of mailbox configuration (better wording is eluding me at the moment). Staff and Students currently share the same email server. I would like to be able to give staff a bigger inbox (eg: 500MB) than students (eg: 50MB).
The way I am thinking, if this is even possible, to pull username and group membership from Active Directory. Check the groups against a SQL query to give the user the appropriate mailbox size. Also, having email is a privilege, not a right at my school so is it also possible to check if a user is part of a BannedEmailUsers or AllowedEmailUser group so I could quickly and effectively disable accounts as needed.
I apologise if this is a little hard to follow. Writing what I want has never been a strongpoint for me J
I also apologise if this has been asked, or information is available somewhere. I did search and didn't come up with much.
