Global Address List Issues.

Hello everyone. I have yet another question. This is a good one. I have
set up a dummy Exchange account so that I could share the address book that
belongs to it. This makes it so that I can have a company Contacts Database
from which everyone in the company can e-mail from. This is the issue. When
I am sending a new message, and I hit the To button, I want this list to come
up as e-mail recipient options. Can this be done? If so, what is the best
way to accomplish this? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
 
A public folder would be a better solution.

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address
book display is somewhat involved. You will need to be able to create -- at
least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's mailbox as
the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in under your own
Windows account, not the other user's:

1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's
mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile.

2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure
that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display
name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts.

3. Close Outlook.

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* (i.e. the one from Step
1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own.

5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the Exchange
Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

6. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook
Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.
