Promodag Reports needs to connect to the directory to import Exchange-related objects, such as servers, mailboxes, contacts or distribution groups. It will first use it to reconstruct the structure of your Exchange organization into the database, display it in the main window, and later on to identify internal recipients while importing Exchange message tracking files or IIS log files.
