This recommended procedure is for administrators only. The goal is to save time by performing the LDAP configuration procedure once. The end result is a file containing a set of default configuration settings. You can then download this file when installing and configuring MAPI on Windows clients.
You can optionally create more than one default LDAP configuration file, for example, to accommodate heterogeneous client requirements.
