Z-Hire V4 Administration Guide The main purpose of Z-hire is to allow for fast account deployment. Usually when an administrator provisions a new user account, multiple consoles are used to get the job done. This app uses a template concept that allows for system administrators to save frequently-used settings for multiple IT systems. With just a click of the button, your Exchange mailbox, and Active directory and Lync account and SalesForce account will be created simultaneously. Z-Hire serves as the platform for new hire accounts by allowing auto-creation of major IT accounts with the option for custom scripts. Requirements System Requirements - Windows 7 X64 (Domain Joined) - Windows Server 2008 X64 (Domain Joined) - Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 (Domain Joined) Permission Requirements For on-premise systems, Z-Hire uses current logon windows credentials to create user accounts avoiding the hassle to enter credentials manually. This is why you must run Z-hire on domain joined computer and logged on using credentials with below permissions: - Ability to create Active Directory user (Active Directory Account Operator) - Ability to create Exchange Mailbox (Exchange Recipient Administrator) - Ability to create / enable Lync user (CSAdministrator) Supported Environments - Active Directory (all versions) - Exchange 2007 (all versions) - Exchange 2010 (all versions) - Lync 2010 (both Standard and Enterprise versions) - SalesForce Cloud PowerShell Remoting
- PowerShell remoting is usually enabled by default, but please make sure it is enabled on your Exchange and Lync servers you are connecting to. - Ensure all Exchange/Lync Servers are enabled for PS remoting. This is done by running "Enable-Psremoting" powershell command on Exchange/Lync server you wish to connect to. - Fill out "Environment Config" portion of the form. Use "File" > "Save Environment Config" to save configuration to select template. - Use Options > Environment Auto Discover to automatically load environment configuration. Templates Templates feature allows an administrator to easily save a set of commonly-used user information. This speeds up the account deployment process. For example, you can set a template for each business department like Marketing and as a marketing template, you may select a list of marketing Active Directory group, marketing mailbox database, marketing users Active Sync Policy, etc. Load Template Settings Use the drop down box to simply load template settings.
