Best practice to create users - Hybrid scenario

I would like to know what is the best practice for creating new users in a Hybrid scenario with all mailboxes hosted and no mailboxes on-premise.
Currently when creating a new user we go to our local EMC and create a 'New Remote Mailbox'.  This creates the mailbox in Office365 and the local user account in one wizard.
After the new user is created we have to manually add the user to the correct distribution groups, and security groups.
We would like a way to create new users using a template which already has the correct distribution groups and security groups.  This is how we did it prior to setting up the Hyrbrid scenario.
Is this possible?  Can we create a user from a template and have the mailbox created in Office365 at the same time?  We do not wish to create the mailbox locally then migrate it.

Thanks for the response DJStatik.  I think this tool might be useful for creating users in bulk, however we are looking for a user template in the traditional sense.
Occasionally we have a new user and (prior to O365) would 'copy' the template user to ensure correct groups etc.
We have tried making users from the existing template we have, but in order to create the mailbox in O365, you need to 'mail enable' the user.  We have noticed that doing this process causes issues with Autodiscover for that particular user.
To avoid the autodiscover issue, we have found it best to create the user and the mailbox in the same wizard - hence our new process that we would like a template.

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

    I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
    username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
    connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
    Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
    connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
    the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
    users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
    following message is displayed:
    The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
    because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
    password now to continue.
    I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
    worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
    analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
    password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
    http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
    any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
    When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
    SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
    For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
    Connections:
    Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
    Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
    Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
    My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
    Connections.
    Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
    Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
    So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
    display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
    the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
    will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
    SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
    SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
    connection.

    You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
    So that it won't ask for password.
    Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

  • Best practice to share user defined reports?

    What is the best practice to share user defined reports among team members?
    Currently I can create a folder under the Reports/User Defined Reports system folder and any reports or subfolders under that can be exported into xml by right-clicking on the folder and selecting 'Save As'. Then sending the file over or put it on a shared point or check in to SVN, then the other team members can right click on the User Defined Reports system folder and chose "Open report..." and select the xml file.
    Is there any more elegant way?
    Is it a good idea to share the C:\Users\lgal\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\UserReports.xml on Windows, or ~/.sqldeveloper/UserReports.xml (on Linux) among users?
    Is there a standard way to bring this under standard SVN control in SD?

    I think the best thing would be if someone set up a config sharing site!
    It would be very easy to do on system like drupal or e107.  People could register and submit their configs to different download sections based on what sort of configs they are.  My site runs e107 so it's not hard to see how easy it would be
    It would be easy to set up - I could do it in about 30mins but I think I have done more than enough of that!  There seems no need to officialize it to any degree and burden the server even more.
    I guess user-cb could host it couldn't?  If you restrict people to posting only small config files with no icons and link to big stuff offsite it should be tiny bandwidth usage.
    That's what I would do anyway

  • What are the best practices to create surrounding borders?

    Good day everyone,
    I was wondering what is the best practices to create a look in my iOS app like the one below? How are they accomplishing the creation of the borders, is there a tool in Xcode IB to do that?
    Thank you in advance

    Once again thanks for your input, however I am still not clear how you have accomplish the rounded corners, you do not mention that in your reply.
    I did some research on my end and I was able to accomplish what I want with a UIView using the code below in an outlet:
    redView.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
    redView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
    redView.layer.borderWidth = 5;
    However, I cannot do the same for the UITableView or UITableView cell.

  • Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

    I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
    We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
    In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
    Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
    1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
    And i was told that it should not be done.
    Let me know how can it be done.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block
    Thanks

  • Best practices to create Universe on top of SAP BW

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know the Best Practices for Creating Universe on top of SAP BW.
    1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1
    2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.
    3. if we create a universe on BEX Query, will  SAP is going to support  universe on BEX for future releases.
    4. what is the support period for BEX and its integration with Business objects.
    Thanks
    Bhnau.

    Hi,
    1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1
    First go through by below link.This guide describe how you can create universe based on Cube and Query and what features are available via Cube and Query.
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
    You can check on the Page 12 in the PDF what supported by Cube and BW Query while designing of a universe.
    Best practices says to design universe on top of one generic query for one Cube because CFK,RFK can not generate in the universe on top of BW Cube.
    2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.
    check below links.

  • Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

    HI Gurus,
    Best  Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
    Prasad

    You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly.  It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection".  You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two.  You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on.  Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
    Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

  • Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

    Hello,
    We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
    is an example:
    10.0.1.0/23
    This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
    1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
    OR do we only create:
    0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
    Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.
    Best Regards,

  • What is the best practice to create IDM user and target accts via recon

    usecase:
    LDAP<--->idm---->AD.
    User exists in LDAP. IDM and AD are empty. Need to create IDM user and AD acct from LDAP data.
    I can recon against LDAP and create the IDM user. But I cannot create AD acct in the same recon process. What is the best practice to do the above.

    i think you have to have a "Per-account Workflow" set which creates the user in AD.

  • Best Practice on Creating Queries in Production

    We are a fairly new BI installation. I'm interested in the approach other installations take to creation of queries in the production environment. Is it standard to create most queries directly into the production system? Or is it standard to develop the queries in the development system and transport them through to production?

    Hi,
    Best practices applied to all developments whether it is R/3, BI modelling or Reporting and as per the best practice we do development in Development system, testing in testing box and finally deploy successful development to production. yes for user analysis purpose, user can do adhoc analysis or in some scenario they create user specific custom queries (sometimes reffere as X-query created by super user).
    So it is always to do all yr developement in Development Box and then transport to Production after successful QA testing.

  • Best practice to create views

    Hi,
    I've a question about best practice to develop a large application with many complex views.
    Typically at each time only one views is displayed. User can go from a view to another using a menu bar.
    Every view is build with fxml, so my question is about how to create views and how switch from one to another.
    Actually I load fxml every time the view is required:
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
    InputStream in = MyController.class.getResourceAsStream("MyView.fxml");
    loader.setBuilderFactory(new JavaFXBuilderFactory());
    loader.setLocation(OptixController.class.getResource("MyView.fxml"));
    BorderPane page;
    try {
         page = (BorderPane) loader.load(in);
         } finally {
              if (in != null) {
                   in.close();
    // appController = loader.getController();
    Scene scene = new Scene(page, MINIMUM_WINDOW_WIDTH, MINIMUM_WINDOW_HEIGHT);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("it/myapp/Mycss.css");
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.sizeToScene();
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.sizeToScene();
    stage.centerOnScreen();
    stage.show();My questions:
    1- is a good practice reload every time the fxml to design the view?
    2- is a good practice create every time a new Scene or to have an unique scene in the app and every time clear all elements in it and set the new view?
    3- the views should be keep in memory to avoid performace issue or it is a mistake? I think that every time a view should be destroy in order to free memory.
    Thanks very much

    1- is a good practice reload every time the fxml to design the view?
    2- is a good practice create every time a new Scene or to have an unique scene in the app and every time clear all elements in it and set the new view?
    3- the views should be keep in memory to avoid performace issue or it is a mistake? I think that every time a view should be destroy in order to free memory.
    In choosing between 1 and 3 above, I think either is fine. Loading the FXML on demand every time will be slightly slower, but assuming you are not doing something unusual such as loading over a network connection it won't be noticeable to the user. Loading all views at startup and keeping them in memory uses more memory, but again, it's unlikely to be an issue. I would choose whichever is easier to code (probably loading on demand).
    In choosing between reusing a Scene or creating a new one each time, I would reuse the Scene. "Clearing all elements in it" only needs you to call scene.setRoot(...) and pass in the new view. Since the Scene has a mutable root property, you may as well make use of it and save the (small) overhead of instantiating a new Scene each time. You might consider exposing a currentView property somewhere (say, in your main controller, or model if you have a separate model class) and binding the Scene's root property to it. Something like:
    public class MainController {
      private final ObjectProperty<Parent> currentView ;
      public MainController() {
        currentView = new SimpleObjectProperty<Parent>(this, "currentView");
      public void initialize() {
        currentView.set(loadView("StartView.fxml"));
      public ObjectProperty<Parent> currentViewProperty() {
        return currentView ;
      // event handler to load View1:
      @FXML
      private void loadView1() {
        currentView.set(loadView("View1.fxml"));
      // similarly for other views...
      private Parent loadView(String fxmlFile) {
        try {
         Parent view = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource(fxmlFile));
         return view ;
        } catch (...) { ... }
    }Then your application can do this:
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
       Scene scene = new Scene();
       FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("Main.fxml"));
       MainController controller = (MainController) loader.getController();
       scene.rootProperty().bind(controller.currentViewProperty());
       // set scene in stage, etc...
    }This means your Controller doesn't need to know about the Scene, which maintains a nice decoupling.

Maybe you are looking for
