Address Book

[Steve Moreland]

I want to setup an address book like the global address
book we use internally on an exchange server that everyone
has access to. I have looked in to documentation and
cannot find anything. Is there a KB article or something
that will help me do this. Thanks

When I try to add to the global address book this message
shows up.
"You cannot create entries for this Address Book"

I'm not sure what you mwan by "an address book *like* the

global address book." Is there a reason why you just can't
use the GAL?

That is normal behavior. Only the Exchange Administrator can create new entries in the GAL. If your goal is to have an address book that everyone can read *and* create new entries in, then consider creating a public folder to hold contact items.

Thanks for your help. Can you direct me to an article
that explains how to do this?
