Siegfried answered the "how" portion. Let me ask you this: why oh why do they want to do that? If an item is already in the GAL, what is the point in creating a duplicate entry in their Contacts folder?

That is the next thing the customer is looking for. Seems OWA 2000 will be their main email client until they decide otherwise. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siegfried Weber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 1:03 PM Subject: RE: owa global address list You don't need VB knowledge to accomplish that. Either VBScript or, if you're coming from a C/C++ or Java shop, Jscript is enough as programming language. The important part is to understand (and learn) the objects and their object models to access such information. In this case LDAP is used to query the Windows 2000 Active Directory. Since LDAP is a C/C++ (or Delphi) only API Microsoft developed ADSI. ADSI can be used to read and write to Active Directory and the Internet has lots of sample stuff how to do that.
