For a contact?
1. You have an internal user. You create a user account for the user. You
also create an email address for that user. However, the user asks if you
can also forward any emails they get to their company email to their private
email. So you also create a contact for that user using their private email
address. Then in the user properties, you forward to the contact any emails
and option to send it to the user account as well. They will receive mail at
the company and to their private emails address.
2. You have a partner organization or a vendor. You do not create user
accounts for them. They do NOT logon on to your system. However, users in
your org needs to contact them by email. The easiest way for you to
configure this is to create contacts for them using their own email
addresses. This way the contacts will show up in the GAL. Your users can
easily select them and mail to them.
3. You have two forests. Each forest (essentially called an 'organization'),
has its own GAL. You need to be able to show the other forests' users emails
in your GAL, and vice-versa. You use CSVDE to perform an export of all the
user accounts' email addresses from the other forest, and you import them by
creating them as contacts in your own forest. Now you have a list of their
emails in your org. They would do the same for your organization's users'
emails.
There are other scenarios. Note, none of the above contacts can logon to any
system or use any of the resources. If you need that, then create a user,
(called a mail enabled user, not a mailbox enabled user), opt to NOT create
an email mailbox. Then rt-click on the user account, Exchange tasks, create
an email address, provide the external private email of the user. This way
the user can logon, use resources (you can add them in an ACL), but they do
not use Exchange's email servers. When anyone mails to them, it mails to
their private accounts. A mail enalbed user is like a contact, except they
can logon and user your resources.
Make sense?
