Displaying hierarchical address books

In a hierarchical address book (HAB), the recipients (mailboxes, mail users, mail contacts, mail-enabled distribution groups) are represented in a hierarchically organized structure.

For more information, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/address-books/hierarchical-address-books/hierarchical-address-books?view=exchserver-2019.

The hierarchy structure is based on the Active Directory group hierarchy. The Active Directory group that represents the root of the hierarchical address book is linked to the Microsoft Exchange organization. The mail-enabled distribution groups that map a hierarchical address book are labeled with the Hierarchical group option.

The following properties are used to define the order in which the recipients are displayed.

  • Sort order: Specifies the order in which to display recipients in the hierarchical address book. The larger the value, the higher the ranking in the sort order.

  • Phonetic display name: If no sort order is given or several entries have the same sort order, sorting is done by phonetic name.

  • Simple display: If no phonetic display name is entered, sorting is done according to the display name.

  • Alias: If no simple display name is entered, the alias is used for sorting.

To display the hierarchical address book

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Exchange system administration category.

  2. Select the organization from the result list.

  3. Select the Show hierarchical address book report.
