User to Contact mapper

This mapper converts users and inetOrgPerson objects into contacts. Converting these objects to contacts might be required to meet internal regulations. This mapper can also be useful if you have software that is licensed by the number of user objects in Active Directory and you do not want to buy additional licenses.

* 
NOTE: In the Global Address List, contacts are marked with a globe next to their names, while users are not. To achieve full transparency, you should avoid using this mapper if possible, so that users from all forests look the same in the GAL. Otherwise, end users may be puzzled by the differences.

Group to Contact mapper

This mapper converts groups into contacts, allowing you to hide group membership from other forests. This is useful if you want users from other forest to be able to send mail to your distribution groups but do not want the group members to be revealed.

* 
NOTE: When publishing a group as a contact, it is not necessary to publish all group members for distribution lists to function, as long as email messages sent to the contact are always redirected to the original group object in the group’s “home” forest.

Mapping groups from Exchange 2007

If you want to use the Group to Contact Mapper for a source group from an Exchange 2007 organization, you must first turn off user authentication. Otherwise, message delivery to the target contact will fail.

To Disable User Authentication in Exchange 2007
1
Open that distribution group's properties in the Exchange 2007 Management Console.
2
On the Mail Flow Settings tab, double-click Mail Delivery Restrictions, and clear the "Require that all senders are authenticated" check box.

Attribute filter mapper

The Attribute Filter mapper is only available for subscriptions. This mapper allows a subscribing forest’s administrator to filter out unnecessary or undesired attributes, thus controlling exactly which attributes are applied to the forest.
