The first thing you need to know about Exchange System Manager is that options pertaining to administrative groups and routing groups are hidden by default. I'm not sure why Microsoft chose to configure the console this way, but I have always found the console a lot less intuitive when these options are hidden.
So, before we get started with our tour of ESM, I'd like you to enable routing group and administrative group management:
- Open Exchange System Manager, right click on your organization (the very top one in the tree on the left) and select Properties.
- Select the Display Routing Groups checkbox and the Display Administrative Groups checkbox.
- Click OK to make the change.
Now that we are all on the same page, let's explore ESM's four main containers: Global Settings, Recipients, Administrative Groups and Tools.
