What he wants to know is the relationship between the A user in the account forest and the AD user in the resource forest

in EMS it says cant load any AD module
You don't need it

Get-Mailbox  username | fl

Will show you the LinkedMasterAccount

And you can use ad users and computers for msExchMasterAccountSid as shown in the picture below

akhater:

I see in attribute editor some hexadecimal figure, what should I give him
What are you trying to do?
You don't need to give him the sid

The attributes he asked for are

LinkedMasterAccount
msExchMasterAccountSid

These are the attributes their values will change for every user

ASKER

he asked me below question

how are the users in the mail.lan domain linked back to their primary domain? Which attribute?"

I ran get-mailbox identity my name | ft name, linked master account I got the result

what attribute should I tell him

LinkedMasterAccount
 msExchMasterAccountSid

msexchange master account sid points to account forest and not exchange forest

2)      The disabled account in the resource forest has an attribute called msExchMasterAccountSid that stores the value of the objectSid attribute of the corresponding user in the account forest.
