Synchronizing Address Book Manager
Synchronization with the Microsoft Exchange servers keeps groups and mailboxes up to date so that emails can be archived without problems. With the Address Book Manager, you can set up automatic synchronization schedules and initiate manual synchronization of various artifacts.

·Steps to schedule automatic synchronization
Steps to perform a manual synchronization
1.Open Address Book Manager by clicking the toolbar icon 
2.The Synchronization tab opens by default.
3.Select the Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, groups and permissions that you want to synchronize.
4.In the Select servers box, select the Microsoft Exchange servers with which you want to synchronize the mailboxes, groups and permissions.
5.Click Apply to confirm the settings.
6.Click Sync Now in the Microsoft Exchange Synchronization box to manually initiate the synchronization of the mailboxes and groups with the selected Microsoft Exchange servers.
7.Click Stop to halt the synchronization process before it completes. When the process completes, click the Close button that appears. You can find the results of the synchronization process in a log file located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\MAM4Exchange\Log\Synchronization_<timestamp>.log
8.Click Sync Now in the Microsoft Exchange Permissions Synchronization box to manually initiate the synchronization of the mailboxes and groups with the selected Microsoft Exchange servers.
9.Click Stop to halt the synchronization process before it completes. When the process completes, click the Close button that appears. You can find the results of the synchronization process in a log file located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\MAM4Exchange\Log\Synchronization_<timestamp>.log
Steps to schedule automatic synchronization
1.Open Address Book Manager by clicking the toolbar icon
2.The Synchronization tab opens by default.
3.Select the Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, groups and permissions that you want to synchronize.
4.In the Select servers box, select the Microsoft Exchange servers with which you want to synchronize the mailboxes, groups and permissions.
5.Click Schedule in the Exchange Synchronization box. The Exchange Synchronization Scheduler dialog appears.
-or-
Click Schedule in the Exchange Permissions Synchronization box. The Exchange Permissions Synchronization Scheduler dialog appears.
6.Select Use scheduled synchronization to activate the synchronization calendar. Each row corresponds to a day of the week. Each column corresponds to an hour of the day (24-hour clock).
7.To set up a schedule using the synchronization calendar, click the cell that corresponds to the day of the week and the hour of day when you want the scheduler to initiate a synchronization job. For example, in the figure above, the synchronization schedule is set to start at 18:00 hrs (6 pm) every weekday. The time zone of the computer where the application is running will be used to determine the time.

Extra
a.User defined group - read only property. When checked, it indicates that this group was created manually and not imported from a Microsoft Exchange server.
b.Deactivate all group members - check this box to deactivate mailboxes of users in the group. Members in sub-groups will not be deactivated. This checkbox is not available for user-defined groups that are created in the Address Book Manager. When a group member is deactivated the following rules apply:

·Archive Manager will temporarily activate a user's mailbox if the user is a member of two or more groups where the member was deactivated and the member is subsequently activated in any one of those groups.
·Archive Manager will deactivate a user's mailbox when mailboxes are synchronized if the user is a deactivated member of any group.
This property is used when users registered with an Archive Server in one location needs access permissions to archived content of users registered with an Archive Server in another location. Consider an example where Susan Bennet in location 1 needs access to archived content of a large number of users in location 2. As a global administrator you would create a group in the Active Directory and add the users from location 2 to this group. Then you would import this group to the Address Book Manager in location 1. You can now grant permissions to Susan Bennet with the Mailbox Rights Manager to access the archived content of the group members from location 2. However, you must deactivate these group members by selecting the Deactivate all group members checkbox so that the primary archive server for these members remains as location 2.
