I presume it's because the OP is trying to get information from Active Directory and not from an Exchange server - they are different things. TBH my experience of using AD as if it's a native LDAP server has never been very fruitful. It always seems as if MS has tweaked it to make it incompatible with "standard" LDAP. But it is a few years since I tried it. In the first instance try running Evolution from the command line - that should give you any error messages. If nothing obvious is shown, then enable LDAP debugging on the addressbook - details on how to do that are at: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging I suspect the debugging out will contain private information, so it would be unwise to share it without sanitizing it first - and it will be big, so please don't send it to this list - if need be upload it to something like pastebin and send the link here.
