Exchange Contact Reports
Exchange-enabled contacts in Active Directory represent external email recipients who can receive messages through the Exchange infrastructure. Contact Exchange reports provide administrators with detailed insights into contact mailbox configurations, message acceptance policies, and Exchange-specific attributes for external recipients.
These reports help administrators manage external contacts, monitor mailbox visibility settings, ensure proper message routing to external recipients, and maintain compliance with organizational communication policies. Understanding contact Exchange settings is essential for effective external communication management and controlling message delivery to parties outside the organization.
