Hi. I've recently installed Small Business Server 2003 and have been testing
clients with Outlook 2003 connecting to Exchange 2003. What I would like to
do is have an address book stored on the server with all of the company's
contacts, that anyone internally can add to and edit. I know that the GAL is
already populated with all of the company employees who have mailboxes (from
the Active Directory) but the GAL seems like it can only be viewed in the
style of clicking "To" on a new email. What we would like to do is have ALL
company contacts (both internal and external) in one place and let them be
viewed within the "Contacts" section of Outlook - ie. we want to be able to
see all their details - addresses, phone numbers, departments, etc.
Is this possible?
We've tried creating a dummy user in Active Directory and creating some
contacts, then sharing their Contacts, but when you shut down Outlook and
restart it, you have to open the shared contacts again.
I don't fully understand GAL or Address Lists or the Outlook Address Books
but surely there must be a fairly straightforward way of doing this?
Hope someone understands this better than me! Many thanks in advance,
Rob
