Microsoft Exchange structure

Structure elements in Microsoft Exchange that are not server dependent are matched by each Microsoft Exchange Server. This affects the organization, global address lists, offline address lists, and folders. Double entries are avoided by running a check routine immediately before entry in the One Identity Manager database. Microsoft Exchange structure objects below server level are only matched by the respective server itself. This affects mailbox databases and public folder databases.

The names and frequency of the structure objects listed below can vary depending on the version of the Microsoft Exchange server in use.

NOTE: The system information for the Microsoft Exchange structure is loaded into the One Identity Manager database during data synchronization. It is not possible to customize this system information in One Identity Manager due to the complex dependencies and far reaching effects of changes.
