MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005contacts not working on home computer
I have a user that needs to get his contacts when he's dialed into the office from his home computer. However, they aren't popping up when he types in the name of the person he's trying to email. I've already checked in properties to make sure that contacts is allowed as a choice. Any ideas? It appears that his Outlook at home isn't pulling contact info from the Exchange server here at the office even though he's authenticated to the server. You haven't really provided any information. Provide your versions of Outlook and Exchange and explain what you mean by "not popping up." Are you referring to autocompletion or autoresolution?

Outlook 2002, Exchange 2003 By "popping up" I guess mean autocompletion (ie. you type in Pete and it fills in the email addres for Pete or it gives you a list of addresses if Pete has more than one) Then that would be the expected behavior. Autocompletion has nothing to do with the information store. It uses a cache of names derived from messages that have previously been sent. That cache resides on the local machine and is profile specific.
