Hi,
I was just assigned the Exchange admin duties at our office.
We have Exchange 2003 server on Windows 2003 Enterprise.
Outlook XP (but moving to Outlook 2003 clients)

Office management wants the default address book that displays first to be
an Outlook address book instead of our Global Address book (our global
address book contains email addresses of other outside offices and an email
was accidently sent outside to someone with the same name). They want this
done for ALL USERS.

I know how to do it in Outlooks with the Tools->Address Book-> Options etc.
Is there a way to set this globally through the server side or group policy
or perhaps registry key?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
 
Outlook itself provides no way to do this, but I think some of the third-party mail profile tools listed at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm#tools may be able to do it.
