Laura,
You are right. What you can't do is access the Global Address List in it's
entirety i.e. do a GetObject("Global Address List") and then iterate through
every entry. You have to step through the schema. You have to do something
like (pseudo-code):
set ORG = GetObject("o=ORG")
For Each OU in ORG
set Site = GetObject("o=ORG,ou=OU")
For Each Container in Site
Set Container = GetObject("o=ORG,ou=OU,cn=Container")
For each Object in Container
'Do what you want with this object - display it,
export details whatever
Next

But you can get to individual objects and attributes of the directory with
LDAP, right? I mean, we're doing it here. We're currently using LDAP to
query information in the Exchange 5.5 directory and using it to populate AD.
Things like phone number, address, etc. The LDAP query uses the
distinguished name properties like organization (/o), site (/ou) and
container (/cn). Maybe I don't understand the question.

The Global Address List does not exist as far as LDAP is concerned. It is a
View of the objects in the entire Directory. You can't get at it from LDAP,
at least not as a single object.

Subject: LDAP question
One of our Unix guys is working on interfacing from a Unix system to our
Exchange 5.5 LDAP directory. The documentation he is working from
specifies that he needs the "container name" for our Global Address List.
I've done a little searching, and I cannot find this information. Does
anyone know the default container name for the global address list? Is it
Global_Address_List, or something similar?
Thanks!
Jim
