Default Updating a Contact folder without Outlook


I have to update a Contact list with data coming from our server and
post the pst file to our website to share it with a group of users. I
do not have outlook on the server. Any ideas how?

I'm afraid this project doesn't make any sense, given that Outlook doesn't
allow .pst files to be shared.

The file needs to be updated with most recent additions or changes for
contacts, and then posted to a location where users will download it
to their own outlook accounts.

In other words, you're not trying to share the file, but telling people to
copy it to their local machines? Well, that's the answer for your original
question, too: Create or update your local copy of the .pst file, close
Outlook, copy the file to the web server.
