What Does the Exchange® Mailbox Lifecycle Plugin Do?
tenfold automates Exchange mailbox management, making life for IT admins oh so much easier. When a new employee joins your organization, tenfold automatically creates a new mailbox for them. If they leave, tenfold can be configured to automatically delete their mailbox. All these changes are documented to provide full transparency for admins.
Hybrid Environments Made Easy
tenfold‘s mailbox lifecycle plugin makes it easy to manage hybrid environments by automatically syncing on-premise systems and Microsoft 365 services. Cloud-only setups do not require this plugin, since mailboxes are created automatically when you assign an Exchange license in M365.
In order to manage the mailbox lifecycle for local accounts, you only need the Exchange Server plugin, which is part of tenfold‘s Essential Edition. Access to mailboxes is managed through a separate interface. Learn more about the Exchange permissions plugin.
