I'm personally using it with Facebook and LinkedIn as well in Outlook 2010. We have perhaps 30 GAL photos in AD at this point. Overall I like it, the Facebook part is so so, it's at least aware of the FB privacy settings. Not 100% sure I like seeing some people's faces when they email me though.
Interesting thing I've discovered: there are lots of people that use work email addresses on Facebook. Someone outside our department installed the connector on 2010 then called us up asking why other people can see their Facebook posts from Outlook. Well, YOU'RE the one that used your work email on FB.. Then, like this email list, it's showing Chris M., Systems Analyst at Sam Houston State University in the social connector pane via LinkedIn. There are also times when someone emails me and they have zero FB settings Outlook slows down trying to pull in all their wall posts. I'm wondering if we should find a way to only allow the connector to show GAL photos and not allow connections to FB, LinkedIn, etc. From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 12:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook Social Connector Doesn't surprise me. One of my guys called me to say that my photo was showing against an email from someone else. Hooked up to his PC and sure enough it was. Closed Outlook and went back in, right photo displayed. I think my "concern" with the social connector is that for 2007 it may be a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, but I really like the GAL photo concept as it's such a simple way to actually know who's emailing you within your business (names to faces and all that) From: Young, Darren [mailto:darren.yo...@chicagobooth.edu]<mailto:[mailto:darren.yo...@chicagobooth.edu]> Sent: 02 August 2011 18:30 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook Social Connector Did that and still have oddness. We've only tested with our IT department at the moment.

I thought you had to specifically configure your Exchange server to get the photos included in the OAB? Or you mean you've done that and still have the odd issue?

I'm considering installing it simply so that Outlook 2007 will work with GAL photos stored in Active Directory. It looks like Microsoft make a GPO .adm file specifically for it that lets you lock it down, but I'd still appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have gone down a similar route.
