This makes it less cumbersome when the employees change computers and also eliminates the need for intervention by the IT department. Additionally, Microsoft Exchange supports Active Directory, thus a user’s information in Active Directory is passed on to the Microsoft Exchange server just by opening Outlook on any computer. No login information is required since Active Directory stores the email address. You just open Outlook, which automatically finds the right email address, logs you in and then you can send your email.
