MBINST Parameters

Flag Settings
/SITEDN= Specifies the mailbox agent site distinguished name (DN). This name has two parts: /o=<organization> and /ou=<site>. For example: /SITEDN=/o=Microsoft/ou=edkue.
/DISPLAY_NAME= Specifies the mailbox agent display name. This name is displayed in the directory.
/RELATIVE_DN= Specifies the mailbox agent relative distinguished name (RDN), which includes all elements of the DN except the organization and the site. You should place the mailbox agent in the Recipients container. It must have its own container below the Recipients container. For example: /RELATIVE_DN=/cn=Recipients/cn=SampleMBA

Placing the mailbox agent in any container other than Recipients may produce unexpected results.

/SERVER= Specifies the server computer name.
/EXTNAME= Specifies the extension name. This property allows the extension to be used by directory objects by placing the /EXTNAME in their Extension-Name attribute.
/EXTDATA= Gives the full path of extension data. For example: /EXTDATA=C:\BKOFFICE\BIN\SMBADMIN.DAT. The extension data is produced by running the Administrator extension. This parameter can be used to run the extension as a separate step, or to gather extension data from another source and link the resulting .DAT file.
/ACCOUNT= Specifies the account name.
/DELETE Deletes a mailbox agent.
/HELP or /? Displays Help information.
