VRO WF creation of email account on Microsoft Exchange Server

[RaymundoEC]

Hello there,

Just to kindly ask about if there is such a way to create a Exchange Server email account from vRO WF to re-use, this because I haven't seen the vRO plugin for Microsoft exchange server or something similar to hit my problem.

This will be used from vRA to publish a service called "new email creation" so I have read that this is possible using power shell script but I want to know more in detail since I'm not a programmer, but i can tackle Powershell scripting.

thanks in advance!

Unfortunately no, there is no plug-in for Exchange - because Microsoft doesn't provide us with an API to build one against. Instead, they only provide a PowerShell to my knowledge. As such, the PowerShell plug-in is likely the best bet in creating Exchange accounts. The challenge then becomes how to manage in vRA. Perhaps Spas will reply here with some comment as he has spent quite a bit of time working with PowerShell and vRO and is a Microsoft "fanboy" <- intentional jab
