AW: Re: Outlook cannot read kolab global address book?

[Till Eberlein]

Hello Everybody

It's typical M$ that they don't care about any standard. When you integrate
the ldap-adressbook you can list the adresses with this "trick": open the
ldap adressbook, goto search and type in a blank. Then press search and you
will see all adresses. But you have to do this every time outlook is
restartet. But you can now even copy the adresses from the ldap adressbook
to the shared_contacts. I think it's a good workaroud for a few persons.
With a lot of persons it would be better to use a script.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen / with kind regards

Till Eberlein

Hi Albrecht,

I had the same experience as you. Now, I'm using a shared folder (type
contacts) as a public address book. Sure, it is more work since everybody
from the LDAP has to put into the shared folder as contact. 
But we have less then 20 persons and only low fluctuation so it's still
manageble. I'm sure it's possible to write a script which scans LDAP and
auto-updates the shared folder address book.

Best regards,
Saim Kim
