MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006copy personal contacts into global address book
How do I move all of the contacts from my personal contact list into the Global Address Book? > How do I move all of the contacts from my personal contact list into > the Global Address Book? You can't. The Exchange admins control the content of the GAL.  SignatureBrian Tillman We use HP hosted exchange. Would they be able to do this for me if I asked them to? > > How do I move all of the contacts from my personal contact list into > > the Global Address Book? > > You can't. The Exchange admins control the content of the GAL. No, the GAL is a representation of mail enabled mailboxes. Your contacts do not have mailboxes on your Exchange server.

SignatureBrian Tillman We want to do this too! We want the GAL or "All Contacts" list to show up in outlook's "Contacts" because everyone likes the outlook "contacts" interface a lot better, it is easier to sort by what they want to see and it has more fields that are useful. Another question...how do you add fields to the contacts added thru active directory...where do i find the schema, and where do i find the file to modify? And same question as someone else...we have a large outlook contact list in someone's profile we want to bring into GAL or "all contacts" to share officewide...how do we do this? And yes, an exchange admin will do all this and then maintain the list once it is in... Thanks much for your help > > I guess I have the converse of this question.

You would have to write or buy a program (if there is such a thing) that copies GAL entries into each user's Contacts folder, remembering that all this duplication of data would be adding to the size of the user's mailbox. > Another question...how do you add fields to the > contacts added thru active directory...where do i find the schema, and where > do i find the file to modify? There is a tool from Microsoft called ADSIEdit, but this is not the right discussion forum. You can use microsoft.public.exchange.admin for Exchange questions. > And same question as someone else...we have a large outlook contact list in > someone's profile we want to bring into GAL or "all contacts" to share > officewide...how do we do this? You could copy them to a public folder. Or, on the Exchange forum, you can ask about import tools.
