Microsoft Windows 2000 Server uses Active Directory to manage multiple name spaces for Active Directory objects. Active Directory uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), to provide full read, write, and search capabilities.
When using Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 with Windows 2000 Server, some Active Directory objects have e-mail attributes provided by Exchange.
The following table lists the Active Directory objects and their corresponding Exchange directory recipient:
Active Directory Object | Corresponding Exchange Recipient |
---|---|
Users | Mailboxes |
Contacts, Users | Custom Recipients |
Groups | Distribution Lists |
