About Extensions

You can extend the functionality of MS Exchange Administrator program by providing any number of custom property pages. In general, Exchange Administrator presents a tree-like view of an organization where each object may be individually configured through its own tabbed dialog when selected. There exists a default set of property pages for each object type. In addition to this you may provide additional pages and make them do any kind of necessary work. You can associate these custom property pages not only with new objects that you create yourself, but with existing ones that are created in the directory when Exchange server is initially installed. This mechanism is very useful for solution developers because it allows to customize Exchange environment any way you like. The general look of Exchange Administrator program, however, must remain the same. As a result, you get your extension (which is a DLL) working within user interface of Exchange Administrator. This approach gives consistency across many extensions and provides ease of use.
