True, but it really doesn't take much to convert a DG to a SG. Neil

In fact, if you EVER think it might be used for security purposes, you can set it up as a security group instead of a distribution group. They can both be mail-enabled.

You have to create a (distribution) group which contains all the contacts. Ricki -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mike Carlson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 4.

They are not users, but they allow for most of the same information of a user including email addresses. They can be SMTP, GroupWise, etc... Then they show up in the global address book with a little icon of the world next to the name meaning they are outside the company... Works really great. As to an import, I am sure you can with vbscript but I don't have that code.

We use Win2K, Exchange2K with Active Directory. I have then created an OU to store the external contacts. When I add contacts to the OU, they automatically show up in the Global Address Book which is available by Outlook or OWA. hth -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan D. Schober, Sr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 10:17 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: External Corporate Contact List Exchange 2000 I am trying to create a corporate contact list of external contacts in Exchange 2000. I've setup a public folder and assigned one of our users to be the gatekeeper to add external contacts. This works great because all of the users have access to the public folder even if using OWA. However, I can't seem to set address checking to look through the public folder, so my users have to manually lookup a contact and add it to the message. I can't be the only one trying to solve this. 8^)> List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
