Issue/Introduction
Client has an Active Directory endpoint configured in the provisioning server having exchange integrated with this endpoint.
Customer has now changed the exchange server, so they need to update the same in their AD endpoint.
But when they tried to update the AD endpoint it did not show the new exchange server details

In other words; How to update an Active Directory Endpoint with new exchange server details?
Environment
All Identity Manager
Cause
The ADS Endpoint needs to have a base level explore executed in order to retrieve the information to update the endpoint.
Resolution
Run a ldap search command (from the Provisioning Server bin folder) such as the following to update the endpoint object.
ldapsearch.exe -h PROV_SERVER_HOST -p 20389 -D "eTGlobalUserName=MY_GU,eTGlobalUserContainerName=Global Users,eTNamespaceName=CommonObjects,dc=im,dc=eta" -w PASSWORD -b "eTADSDirectoryName=AD_ENDPOINT_NAME,eTNamespaceName=ActiveDirectory,dc=im,dc=eta" -s base "(objectClass=eTADSDirectory)" eTADSexchangeStores eTExploreUpdateEtrust
If the command would not work due to password special characters try to change -w PASSWORD to -W system will ask for the password after the command is executed.
ldapsearch.exe -h PROV_SERVER_HOST -p 20389 -D "eTGlobalUserName=MY_GU,eTGlobalUserContainerName=Global Users,eTNamespaceName=CommonObjects,dc=im,dc=eta" -W -b "eTADSDirectoryName=AD_ENDPOINT_NAME,eTNamespaceName=ActiveDirectory,dc=im,dc=eta" -s base "(objectClass=eTADSDirectory)" eTADSexchangeStores eTExploreUpdateEtrust
Note:
You would need to replace PROV_SERVER_HOST, MY_GU, PASSWORD, and AD_ENDPOINT_NAME by your values.
Assuming in this sample the Provisioning domain name value is im.
