Converting contacts
We have a list of contacts (global Address List) that is used for email and
blackberry purposes. This list is updated through our network active directory. Is there any way to have this list added to all users contacts to be displayed as business cards, address cards...ect. This list needs to be linked (not a copy) so it will continue to update from active directory?

Not without a 3rd party utility.

We would like to add them to each persons personal contacts and the GAL does
not contain all the information the active directory has. "Tina" wrote: We have a list of contacts (global Address List) that is used for email and blackberry purposes.

When I open a person in the GAL, I see quite a bit of organization information, like direct reports, manager, business, mobile, pager, fax, and home phone numbers. I see only one mailing address (which we use to hold the business address), though. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I think the issue here is usability. We'd like the entries in the GAL to be
viewable in the same way that local "Contacts" are viewable - i.e. Business Cards, Address Cards, Phone List… This would benefit users in a couple ways: 1. They wouldn't have to right-click and choose properties from inside the GAL to view extended details (details which are in there via A/D but not conveniently viewable via the default view in the GAL). 2. If there were a way to keep this view of the GAL in sync with A/D then users could also have the full GAL sync to their mobile devices. Waste of space - yes. Easier/faster than waiting for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to complete the Lookup - absolutely. But let's not get started on BES… If there is a 3rd party tool - I haven't been able to find one that does it and meets the main criteria of keeping the local machine copy synchronized with A/D -- "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Tina" wrote in message ...
