SUMMARY
The Organization property page may be used to enter optional information in the Address Book about the mailbox owner's manager and direct reports (if any).

Manager information may be imported into the Exchange mailboxes by creating a .Csv file that contains a Manager column header.



MORE INFORMATION
Create a .Csv file by exporting the addresses from the Administrator program and modifying the file to add the new column "Manager" and Alias Name of the user who will be listed as the manager for that mailbox.

Close, then import this modified .Csv file into Exchange, using Tools / Directory Import command.

Any mailbox owner who is listed as a manager of another user will have Direct Report information displayed within his or her mailbox properties.

Each recipient who reports to the mailbox owner (Manager) will be listed in the Direct Reports dialog box of that mailbox owner.
