	Implements IMVSynchronization.Provision

	Dim adMA As ConnectedMA
	Dim csentry As CSEntry
	Dim nickName As String
	Dim dn as ReferenceValue

	try
		adMA	 = mventry.ConnectedMAs("Fabrikam AD MA")

		nickName = mventry("mailNickname").Value

		' Construct the distinguished name
		dn = adMA.EscapeDNComponent("CN=" + mventry("cn").Value).Concat("ou=mailboxes,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")

		If 0 = adMA.Connectors.Count then
			csentry = ExchangeUtils.CreateDistributionlist(adMA, dn, nickName)
		End If

		' Log and rethrow any exception
		Catch ex As Exception
			Logging.Logging.LogException(ex, "Provision", "Caught exception", False)
			Throw
	End Try
End Sub

void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
{
	ConnectedMA adMA;
	CSEntry csentry;
	String nickName;
	ReferenceValue dn;

	try
	{
		adMA = mventry.ConnectedMAs["Fabrikam AD MA"];

		nickName   = mventry["mailNickname"].Value;

		// Construct the distinguished name
		dn = adMA.EscapeDNComponent("CN=" + mventry["cn"].Value).Concat("ou=mailboxes,dc=fabrikam,dc=com");

		if(0 == adMA.Connectors.Count)
		{
			csentry = ExchangeUtils.CreateDistributionlist(adMA, dn, nickName);
