Yes, I am... it works really well, except that Outlook Express:
(a) Doesn't complete the name if you do a "check names". In other words, if
you type in "John S" and hit ctrl-k to check the name, and the LDAP server
only returns one possible match, Outlook underlines it without completing
the name.
(b) Always takes email addresses from the windows address book over the LDAP
server. Meaning if you type in John S and there's a John Smith in the
address book and three John Sink's on the LDAP server, Outlook will just
fill it in as John Smith. A bit annoying, and is basically the reason I
want to remove the windows address book and provide a way for everyone to
add their contact to the LDAP server.
