wildcards searching
I'm having trouble searching my LDAP directory here at work on Exchange. It doesn't seem to like any wildcards. When searching I can put in 'A' for Name and I'll get back all the First names starting with A but I'd like to be able to search for all the Names and have them in this new address book I made. I was going to suck it up and just go through each letter of the alphabet which wouldn't be that big of a deal except for the fact that each search erases the previous search in my new address book. I tried searching the archives and the FAQ but didn't find stuff to really help me (or else I didn't look long enough:). The two quesions are: 1) Is it a problem on the Exchange server not letting me use wildcards to search? I've tried using * and % and no luck with either. 2) If I decide to just go through each letter of the alphabet and search LDAP in order to populate the new address book how do I prevent the previous search from being deleted? ( I simply want to keep adding to the book with new searches ).

I think this is a server-based thing, or may not be possible at all with Exchange Server; I tried, using both TB! and Outlook Express, to search my work-based server with wildcards; nothing happened. However, I can use partial matches (so Green would match everyone from Aaron Green to Zachary Green :) 2) If I decide to just go through each letter of the alphabet and search LDAP in order to populate the new address book how do I prevent the previous search from being deleted?

I have this problem as well with LDAP (existing results being wiped out), and some other peculiarities; when I have more time I'll investigate further.

Right now the only work around that I've come up with is to set up an extra address book account. I then do searching of LDAP on one account and then cut and paste the search results into the other account. Sort of a pain, but it works.
