Alternatively, you can have Amazon WorkMail create and manage a Simple AD directory for you and have users in that directory created when you add them to your Amazon WorkMail organization.

65
Q

How does Amazon WorkMail interact with my on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server to perform bi-directional calendar free-busy lookups?

Migration & Interoperability with Microsoft Exchange Server

Amazon WorkMail | Business Productivity

A

You will need to configure availability settings on Amazon WorkMail and Microsoft Exchange to share calendar free-busy information. Amazon WorkMail uses the EWS URL for your Microsoft Exchange server to perform free-busy lookups. Amazon WorkMail uses an Exchange service account to login to Exchange and read free-busy data of the users in the Microsoft Exchange organization.

For free-busy lookups of Amazon WorkMail users from your Microsoft Exchange Server, Exchange performs an Autodiscover request and connects to the Amazon WorkMail EWS endpoint using an Amazon WorkMail service account.

You can find more information on this here.

Q

Can an Amazon WorkMail user manage the shared calendar or shared folder of a user on Microsoft Exchange (and vice versa).

69
Q

How does Amazon WorkMail interact with my on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server to create a unified global address book?

Migration & Interoperability with Microsoft Exchange Server

Amazon WorkMail | Business Productivity

Email Flow Rules

Amazon WorkMail | Business Productivity
