Each address list can contain one or more types of objects (for example, users, contacts, groups, public folders, conferencing, and other resources). Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server address lists also provide a mechanism to partition mail-enabled objects in Active Directory for the benefit of specific groups of users.
