 The display template file specifies how to display Address Book objects and e-mail addresses to the client. The display template file is a package that wraps the template for creating e-mail addresses, known as the address creation template, and the template for displaying Address Book object information. For more details about the address creation template and the template for displaying Address book object information, see [MS-OXOABKT].
