HMC 3.5: Outlook Enabling featureName has changed

For those of you using HMC 3.5 (or plan on using it), there is a change in the Plans system when creating a new plan for Outlook client access.  It appears that the sample XML request provided with the solution is also out of date.

Enable Outlook Client for a Plan: HMC 3.0

<feature>
<featureName>OutlookClient</featureName>
<featureDescription>Full Outlook Client Access enabled</featureDescription>
</feature>

Enable Outlook Client for a Plan: HMC 3.5 (and the Feature Pack)

<feature>
<featureName>MAPI</featureName>   
<featureDescription>Full Outlook Client Access enabled</featureDescription>
<featureValue>0</featureValue>
</feature>

The main change here is the "featureName" is different.  To enable a feature, the "featureValue" must be marked as "0".  To disable the feature, you must set the featureValue as "1".  If nothing is defined for that feature in the plan, then the Exchange Server defaults (assigned at the Storage Group level) is applied.

Hi there, Have a few little problems with MPS FP1 if anybody can help it would be great.

Firstly with the plans, I have created a custom set of plans and imported them no porblem, however the feature relating to OutlookClient and NoOutlookClient is not in the HEdatabase so i am trying to find out how to add these features, any ideas?

Secondly, Is there any way to COMPLETELY remove plans from the database so far i have only found how to disable them. I also want to remove them from the sample CP. This is the procedure i used. LDAP://OU=f1 bahrain,OU=Business Connections Hosting,OU=Hosting,DC=bcmehosting,DC=local eve.bcmehosting.local BCME Platinum Full 5GB OWA,POP,IMAP,OUTLOOK BCME Gold Full 2GB OWA,POP,IMAP,OUTLOOK BCME Silver Full 1GB OWA,POP,IMAP,OUTLOOK As you can see above i created a plan of 5GB this does not work, I belive this is due to the fact that there is a 2GB limit, is this true or can that be changed? Finally here is 2 plans i created. BCME Bronze Full 250MB OWA,POP,IMAP,OUTLOOK BCME Bronze Full 250MB OWA,POP,IMAP,OUTLOOK HeConsumer MailboxSize Mailbox size in kilobytes 250000 kb OwaSegment Full Outlook Web Access 131007 OWA Outlook Web Access 1 POP POP Mail Access 1 IMAP IMAP Mail Access 1 mDBOverHardQuotaLimit Prohibit Send/Receive 250000 mDBStorageQuota Warning Size 210000 BCME Basic Platinum 500mb POP,IMAP,OWA BCME Basic Platinum 500mb POP,IMAP,OWA HeBusiness HeConsumer MailboxSize Mailbox size in kilobytes 500000 kb OwaSegment Full Outlook Web Access 131071 OWA Outlook Web Access 1 POP POP Mail Access 1 IMAP IMAP Mail Access 1 mDBOverHardQuotaLimit Prohibit Send/Receive 500000 mDBStorageQuota Warning Size 480000

The first should have full Outlook, owa pop, imap ect. the second should have only OWA pop and imap. When i add the Nooutlookclient i get an error i asume this is due to the fact that this feature is not in the database, so that brings me bak to my first point. Also to quote that i have set does not work at all. I have added the features including mDBStorageQuota, i think it was procedure RHE.33. Any ideas why this does not work. Thanks i advance and keep up the great work, the info on this site has been a god send.
