copy personal contacts into global address book
We want to do this too! We want the GAL or "All Contacts" list to show up in
outlook's "Contacts" because everyone likes the outlook "contacts" interface a lot better, it is easier to sort by what they want to see and it has more fields that are useful. Another question...how do you add fields to the contacts added thru active directory...where do i find the schema, and where do i find the file to modify? And same question as someone else...we have a large outlook contact list in someone's profile we want to bring into GAL or "all contacts" to share officewide...how do we do this? And yes, an exchange admin will do all this and then maintain the list once it is in... Thanks much for your help "Brian Tillman" wrote: Salil wrote: I guess I have the converse of this question. How do you force the GAL to show up in every user's Contacts? Five copies of the same question? What went wrong? Why would you want to do this? Everyone already has access to the GAL. -- Brian Tillman |

copy personal contacts into global address book
I guess I have the converse of this question. How do you force the GAL
to show up in every user's Contacts? You would have to write or buy a program (if there is such a thing) that copies GAL entries into each user's Contacts folder, remembering that all this duplication of data would be adding to the size of the user's mailbox. Another question...how do you add fields to the contacts added thru active directory...where do i find the schema, and where do i find the file to modify? There is a tool from Microsoft called ADSIEdit, but this is not the right discussion forum. You can use microsoft.public.exchange.admin for Exchange questions. And same question as someone else...we have a large outlook contact list in someone's profile we want to bring into GAL or "all contacts" to share officewide...how do we do this? You could copy them to a public folder. Or, on the Exchange forum, you can ask about import tools. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Mom" wrote in message ...
