XADM: How to Modify Fields in the Exchange Mailbox Template

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Exchange two template tabs used for the seven template types: Custom Recipient, Distribution List, Exchange Send Options, Mailbox, Mailbox agent, Public Folder, and Search Dialog. The fields displayed can be removed from the template, moved within the template, or new fields added to the template.
