Summary of Contact relationship Considerations |

Before Add2Exchange, users may have manually copied items over to their Destination folders and a Contact item may be in several locations with varying degrees of "correctness". With the addition of Add2Exchange technology, a consolidation and de-duplication process which should occur before an Add2Exchange relationship is made.
Once a relationship has been made when you close the Console reply affirmatively to start the Add2Exchange Service.
Tip: In testing, many people shorten the processing interval to 5 or 10 minutes. Some people have even changed it to 1 second. The Add2Exchange Service cannot begin synchronizing again until the first synchronization cycle has completed. An item in the Event Log will attest to this. To test Add2Exchange, there is no need to modify the processing interval, because regardless of the interval specified in the Console, 60 seconds after starting the Add2Exchange Service, Add2Exchange starts synchronizing any every active Calendar relationship (if there are any), then 60 seconds after the last Calendar relationship, the Contact relationships synchronize (if any) and then 60 seconds after the last Contact relationship, the Task relationships synchronize. After the last Task relationship, Add2Exchange resumes the preset Intervals set within the Service Utility option.
After a complete synchronization cycle, Add2Exchange will synchronize to all Destinations with valid active Add2Exchange relationships. Edit one Contact, and the change will synchronize to the other locations on the next processing interval or if you start and stop the Add2Exchange Service. Delete a Source or Destination and it will follow the specific rules of synchronization specified in the Add2Exchange relationship.
If at the start or during a synchronization cycle the Exchange Server is unavailable, Add2Exchange waits until Exchange is available, automatically starts, synchronizes and then waits until the next processing interval to synchronize again. If you open the Console, the Add2Exchange Service automatically stops at whatever relationship it was processing. When the user exits the Console, the user is prompted to start the Add2Exchange Service. When the Add2Exchange Service starts, it begins synchronizing at the beginning of the relationship list, starting at the first relationship again, Add2Exchange does not continue synchronizing the relationship where the system left off when the Add2Exchange Service was previously stopped.
