is there anyway to add a contact to my gloabl address book? right now
i can only add to my contacts folder under Outlook, but none of those
contacts get picked up by Outlook to autocomplete the TO: field in
mail. For example if i have a user (e-mail address removed) in my contacts
folder under Outlook, when i try Joe in the To: field of a new message
it does not autocomplete as if would for addresses in my global
address book. anyway to make it?

Thanks.
 
Autocomplete does not use any address book. It uses a cache of names to whom
you've already sent messages.
 
You cannot add an address to the Global Address book as the addresses are
created when the Exchange Admin creates a mailbox. The Exchange Admin can
create custom recipients but Russ's answer fits your problem best.
