Viewing the Mail and ProxyAddresses Fields in Active Directory

If you’re configuring Active Directory Integration (ADI) for your organization, you may need to view the mail and proxyAddresses fields in your Active Directory (AD). These fields can be used to sync user information from your AD to your KMSAT console. If your users aren’t populating correctly in your KMSAT console or if you receive error messages related to user information, you may need to update these fields.

In this article, you’ll learn how to view and update the mail and proxyAddresses fields in your AD. For general information about fields in your AD, see our Active Directory Integration (ADI) Advanced Configuration Guide.
