s/o else contact as address list in OL2K3 ?

[Pierre Bru]

hi,

many my user used to share their contacts in that way:

- the secretary maintains the contacts data in his/her own contact
folder in his/her mailbox, shares it whith whoever needs it (read access
on the mailbox and the contact folder).
- the person who needs to use these contacts check the "dispaly as
address book" (translated from french) checkbox to enable automatic name
resolution and make this folder visible when he/she click on the "To:"
button

this was tha old OL2K times...

now, with OL2K3, I can not longer find neither the "Outlook address
book" tab on the shared contact folder of s/o else, nor I can find the
"addressing" tab in the profile manager

more thant that, if the person who want to use the shared contact folder
still use OL2K and the "sharer" OL2K3, I neither can find this tab.

where am I wrong ? is this still feasable ?

TIA,
Pierre.

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address
book display is somewhat involved:

1. Start with a profile that logs directly onto the other user's mailbox,
not your own.

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* to change the mailbox
from the other user's to your own. On the Advanced tab of the Exchange
Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

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