XADM: Direct Reports Can Only Be Selected from User's Site (147360)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q147360 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program to select Direct
Reports for a user, the Global Address List (GAL) is not available. The
only available lists are those which reside on the same Exchange site of
which the user is a member.
However, from the mailbox, you can specify any user from the GAL for the
manager option.
RESOLUTION
To allow managers and direct reports to be in different sites, connect to a
server in the site of the user to be a direct report and adjust their
Manager attribute.
STATUS
This Direct Report handling is intended by design for Exchange version 4.0.
Since Direct Reports is a back-linked "calculated" attribute which is not
directly writable, the Manager attribute must be modified on each recipient
that you want to be a direct report.
