This topic explains how to add the Details Templates Editor snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console 3.0 (MMC).

Note

This procedure applies only to the release to manufacturing (RTM) version of Exchange 2007. In Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can access the Details Templates Editor from the Toolbox in the Exchange Management Console.

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, you have the ability to customize the client-side graphical user interface (GUI) presentation of object properties that are accessed by using address lists in the Microsoft Outlook client application. When a user opens an address list in Outlook, for example, the properties of a particular object are presented as defined by the details template in the Exchange organization.

You can use the Details Templates editor to customize the following Outlook objects:

  • Contacts

  • Users

  • Groups

  • Mailbox agents

  • Public folders

  • Search dialogs

The objects may be customized by changing field sizes, adding or removing fields, adding or removing tabs, and rearranging fields. The layout of these templates can vary by language.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role
