As a follow up to my own question.
If it is not possible, I suppose I could write
a script that automatically exports the contents of the public folder from
Outlook and store it in a CSV format, import them into the AD
afterwards using CSVDE as Contact objects in a specific OU and query the OU from
Exchange server. But I'm hoping someone may have a better idea
:-)

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Server-side address list < Public folder
I'm not sure if this
is possible or not. I can't seem to find any reference of it
anywhere.
Would anyone care to
enlighten me on if it is possible to populate an address list stored
server-side (similar to GAL) using an LDAP query to query the contents of a
public folder? I know that it is possible to add a public folder to each
individual outlook config by opening Properties (of folder) > Outlook
Address Book > Show this folder...
But, I am wondering
if is possible to remove that process and have it stored on server so users can
simply address an email and choose the correct contact from their Outlook
without manually adding the folder to their AB's.
I have played around
with it a little bit and I have been able to limit an LDAP query within Exchange
to return only the folder that contains the contacts, but have yet to be able to
return the contacts stored within that folder.
TIA
