The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Active Directory® directory service to determine whether the value for the msExchHideFromAddressLists attribute of the journaling recipient object is set to True. A value other than True for this attribute indicates that the journaling recipient for the mailbox store is not hidden from Exchange Server address lists and could become the recipient of non journaling related messages. If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that the value for the msExchHideFromAddressLists attribute for the journaling recipient object is not set to True, the Exchange Server Analyzer displays a best practice message.

To address this issue for Exchange Server 2003, use the Active Directory Users and Computers tool to hide the journaling recipient mailbox from Exchange Server address lists.

To address this issue for Exchange Server 2007, use the Exchange Management Console to hide the journaling recipient mailbox from Exchange Server address lists.
