Kevin, The search itself is working fine, its just the details Outlook is displaying when you bring up the properties of the search result that aren't. (Sorry, I should've been clearer about what wasn't working and/or used the correct terminology.. :))
In my ldif file, for any given user, I've got "mail:" and "otherMailbox:" supplied to show two email addresses in the details pane (even though Outlook will only use the alphabetically first entry <sighs>), I need to do the same for the Business number [telephoneNumber], and Business 2 [Which is the one who's label I cant find..]. The company name on the other hand simply appears to be A.W.O.L... No matter how I add it in (o: or organizationName:), it just refuses to show... I also know about the registry hacking required to do a search on certain fields (company name, etc), but I'll cross that bridge later.. Right now though, I'd just like it populating the fields correctly.. Of all the things I've made co-exist happily, this has got to be the most painful... Thanks though!

(shudder) Ok your problem is that you are looking at the base of the tree you don't want users to look that far down. what we have is a object unit called Contacts that all users in my org can modify. It's pretty insure that way but there are two of us. what you need to do is define the ou you want outlook to view. ie (in our case) ou=Contacts,dc=spinaweb,dc=com,dc=au your's could look something like this ou=Contacts,o=spinaweb > Hey all, > > I'm in the process of creating a corporate address book > with OpenLDAP. > > Unfortunately, the address book is being used by Outlook XP clients > and that's where all the fun begins.. > > (I know this isnt strictly Linux related, but I figured > someone on the list may have already solved this problem > in a similar setup.. :)) > > Outlook XP appears to ignore the majority of LDAP's objects, so, I was > wondering if anyone had any urls that might lead to a complete list of > allowable/useable objects under Outlook XP.?
