Exchange Recipient Type Values

I don’t know where and when this information will be useful to you, but I needed these values in a few problems I had, maybe you will need them one day.

There are three critical recipient values used by Exchange Server;

  • msExchRecipientDisplayType
  • msExchRecipientTypeDetails
  • msExchRemoteRecipientType

There is the only supported way to change these values is using the Exchange Admin Center or using the Exchange Management Shell.
