Provide management functions, exchange control panel.
3.AUTODISCOVER

Exchange Web Services (EWS) is an application program interface (API) that allows programmers to access Microsoft Exchange items such as calendars, contacts and email.
6.powershell
This is the powershell function (including PowerShell Web Access, which uses browsers to manage PowerShell remotely based on Web)
7.OAB

Use contact information when outlook uses caching mode or when it is disconnected from the exchange server.
Polling interval: 480 minutes.
8.MAPI
Information application program interface (Messaging Application Programming Interface) to manage MAPI clients, such as whether OUTLOOK uses EXCHANGE connections.
Tips:
Disabling MAPI access to mailboxes prevents users from using Outlook to access the Exchange mode of their mailboxes.
It does not prevent users from using other protocols (for example, POP3, IMAP4, or Exchange ActiveSync) in web or Outlook to access Outlook on their mailboxes.
