  2. Select Microsoft Exchange Directory Synchronization.
  3. Choose Start to start the exchange of address information.

Stopping Directory Synchronization

Before stopping directory synchronization, you should notify users and the administrator of the other system that directory synchronization will be stopped.

  1. In Windows NT Control Panel, choose Services.
  2. Select Microsoft Exchange Directory Synchronization.
  3. Choose Stop to stop the exchange of address information.
