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.

The hierarchy structure is based on the Azure Active Directory group hierarchy. The Azure Active Directory group that represents the root of the hierarchical address book is linked to the Exchange Online 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.

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

To display the hierarchical address book

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > Tenants category.

  2. In the result list, select the Azure Active Directory tenant.

  3. Select the Show hierarchical address book report.
