AD, centralized email and DL

[Troy]

I have a Windows 2003 Domain set up in our office. We are also running
Office 2003 on all clients.

I am trying to find a way to have centralized management of all employees
email addresses.

I have been testing LDAP to Active Directory through OUTLOOK however I have
not found a way to share Distribution Lists.

So the goal is to manage all employees email addresses and associated
distribution lists centrally so that everyone has access to current
information and does not have to maintian their own.

Please let me know if you can help with this or have any other ideas....

Thanks
Troy.

Thanks Ben.

However I should have mentioned we are looking to implement something less
expensive than an option like Exchange Server.

Perhaps simpler or smaller applications... or a way to use active directory
would be great.

Cheers.

Are you saying that LDAP clients can't see distribution groups you've created in AD? Are they global or universal?

Our running an Exchange environ. with AD? You may also be interested in a
document written with respect to the NK2 file and has some references to the
AD and X500 addressing. You can find it at:
