Default Updating Contacts for non-exchange users; 25 users

Hello,

We recently changed our email address from to
. A few issues however:

1) Currently all users are now using
. However, I
need to know the best means to update all Contacts on the local machines
(since non-Exchange enviroment). I was thinking sending out the new V-cards,
going around to each machine and saving as new contact and deleting old
contacts. Gotta be a faster way.

2) When a users goto to send out and email: They start to type in the
employes first name and the new email address as well as the old email
address shows...any means to "delete" this memory of sent-to address? So
users dont send to
-vs- new ?


Any help with this matter would be GREAT. As im sure there is a faster way
for #1 and an easy way for #2...just cant find it.

MUCH THANKS!!

Well after doing some searching, this looks to be the most effecitve means:
http://www.commodore.ca/windows/outl...windows_ad.htm


However, doing this now opened another can or worms. As I am now getting
the following error when I try to open the newly created Contact List:

"Can't contact LDAP Directory Server (81)"

I do have this Server hidden since it is a DC...maybe that is the issue?
Any other suggestions on this error and #2 question?

1) Export to a .csv file, then give it to users to import.

2) Delete the .nk2 file associated with the profile or, to delete an individual entry, just do it: Press Del when it pops up.
