RE: Blackberry GAL
How do you publish the GAL to a Public Folder? Do you mean just a one time manual export of the GAL and then import that into a Public Folder or is there some way to have an automatically updated copy of the GAL in a public contacts folder (without using a 3rd party app). How do you use DM to sync a PF to your device? Also, syncing a PF contact folder to your Blackberry requires 5.0 firmware (which does not exist for any of our devices) and 5.0 BES server, correct??

RE: Blackberry GAL
Blackberry should really provide the admins the right ... I am glad they dont. Of course, *we* would never use it even if they did.. Our GAL has a little more than 500,000 (yes, 500 thousand) contacts and employee email addresses. And how current will it be ? -- and constant downloads like the OAB? There is a lookup feature in Blackberry that more than accomplishes this task of looking for a user.Of course, if you email a user, it keeps that in memory similar to the outlook nickname file.

Sure, Blackberry is enterprise level and is meant to handle orgs with over hundreds of thousands of users, I get it.

Re: Blackberry GAL
The look up features works just fine. I was referring to the nickname claim Of course, if you email a user, it keeps that in memory similar to the outlook nickname file.

RE: Blackberry GAL
Here's more into this mystery... 1) Begin to compose an email to someone who is NOT in your contacts, but is in the GAL 2) Scroll and select Lookup: NAME 3) The BB will find NAME and put brackets around it (thus indicating it is a lookup) 4) You can either send/not send the email 5) The lookup results are automatically added in your address book on your BB. (scroll to the top of your address book) 6) Therefore, the next time you go to email NAME, the lookup with NAME in it will appear as you type that name. 7) This behavior will continue even if you reboot... until you delete the lookup (or if you pull the battery, you lose all your lookups).

I have a few annoyances, but one of the main and most annoying issues i'm hoping there is an answer for is: - Is there a way to default to the Exchange GAL when typing in a name during e-mail composition ? Right now, the list populates with your personal contacts within outlook and I'll have to lookup in order to find a name in the Exchange GAL.. - Is there a way to add or auto-populate a blackberry device with the most frequently e-mailed ? In other words, lets say you have 20 contacts with the last name Singh but frequently only e-mail 1 of them, is there a way to trick the blackberry to populate that Singh first ? Thanks,

RE: Blackberry GAL use
You guessed it. We migrated email away from a specific domain we aren’t using anymore and a ton of execs had static contacts in Outlook that are synced with the BB. We don’t want to stop local contact sync because there are valid entries that users need, and educating users on the issue and how to correct it hasn’t proved to be very fruitful. Individual attention is not possible based on the volume of users affected and their geographic locations.

Re: Blackberry GAL use
Oh, there's nothing wrong with local or personal contacts - in fact the way they transparently sync to/from the server resident contacts is dynamite - the issue is when they duplicate GAL entries. This isn't limited to BBs - the same issue happens on Outlook except the user can override it. Just have to explain that duplicating GAL entries in local contacts is bad no matter how/why they got there and give them all the reasons. You can't prevent them from doing it TO themselves. - Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld - Original Message - From: Troy Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Fri Oct 10 11:06:14 2008 Subject: RE: Blackberry GAL use You guessed it.
