It might cause performance issues on your exchange server, depending on the size of your GAL.
And since Outlook won't download but once a day (by default), it would be of limited value if you are using cached mode.

We do a lot of updates adding and removing from the GAL if I customize it to run every 1 hour would that cause performance issues on the network?

If your clients used Cached Mode then they will receive the updates once the Offline Address Book (OAB) files are generated and downloaded. By default this would only occur once a day. So if you made the changes today it would show up for cached mode clients when they receive their OAB update tomorrow. Thanks, Peter Dahl. _____ From: Michael B.

They can't be set up using "SMTP". Regards, Michael B. Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Dennis Rogov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 9:22 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook Address book . I currently have exchange 2003 environment all 2003 servers on the client side we run office 2003 with outlook 2003. All of the users are setup with an SMTP connection to the mail server. During my last exchange gal cleanup I noticed that not all of the users are receiving the updates to their outlook. If I select the address book from the outlook client go to global properties the path points to one of our DC's these are the clients that are receiving the updates. If I select the clients that don't get the updates within the address book properties it points to C:\Documents and Settings\gshafer.PEERGROUP.000\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\. Anyone experience this?
