I read this articule:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/decommission-on-premises-exchange#can-third-party-management-tools-be-used
Where says :
The question of whether a third-party management tool or ADSIEDIT can be used is often asked. The answer is you can use them, but they aren't supported. The Exchange Management Console, the Exchange admin center (EAC), and the Exchange Management Shell are the only supported tools that are available to manage Exchange recipients and objects. If you decide to use third-party management tools, it would be at your own risk. Third-party management tools often work fine, but Microsoft doesn't validate these tools.
The DOC talk about ADSIEDIT for changing the exchange atributtes, but didn't say anything about Active Directory Users and Computers. This last one (i assume) is not a third-party tool. So my question is, " modify a Exchange atributtes through Active directory Users and Computers its supported or not?
Thanks!

Microsoft moved the Exchange attributes to Active Directory with Exchange Server 2000.
Since then people have been using ADUC to make simple changes because it is more convenient for simple changes.
The other easy way to make changes, especially bulk changes, is to use Exchange PowerShell.
