Oops, Looks like I misread, yes WM 5 and up have GAL lookup so you don't need to sync the address book, choose company directory when you are looking up a contact and it will retrieve the info from the server.
+1 with Don, static entries that require manual updating are a lousy way to go. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Don Andrews [mailto:don.andr...@safeway.com] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 2:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Copy GAL to outlook contact folder I'm lost - however I am a BB user not WM and we've got 60k+ GAL entries, but - doesn't WM allow GAL lookup? Assuming it does, why would you want to manually create multiple static copies of a dynamic up to date GAL? ________________________________ From: Gene Giannamore [mailto:gene.giannam...@abideinternational.com] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 2:22 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Copy GAL to outlook contact folder Is there a way (tool, script, util, program, etc.) that will allow someone to copy the GAL to the outlook contact folder? I am hoping to find a way to update the outlook contact folder with the GAL for our smart phones. Right now, since most of our users cannot do this themselves, I have to access each user's outlook and add the new GAL entry to their outlook contact folder. Our smart phones (windows mobile, and iphones) sync with our exchange server. And everyone loves the up to date contacts and the contacts are there for when they receive or make a call. I call it mandatory convenience, and I am responsible for making it all work, all the time, especially for the new people. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.
