I wrote previously because I was asked to create a method in which every user
on our network can share contact information with each other.
The information I was given was very helpful, but I still had a little bit
of problems creating a public folder, due to some confusion with our system
administrator. But as it turns out, my boss wants it to be a little more
complicated than just creating a new folder in Outlook (of course).
We have a shared server, in which we put project directories &
administrative information & all sorts of helpful, shared data. This is our
F:/
My question now, is "HOW DO I SHARE OUR CONTACTS USING OUR F:/ DIRECTORY?"
I created a 'Contacts' folder on the server, which can be accessed by
everybody. I even opened a contact on my computer & saved it to that folder
on the server. It worked, but how do I upload every single contact in my
Outlook [and everybody else's Outlook] to that folder??
If it ain't one thing, it's always another.
I'm the only compute-literate person in the office, so I am stuck trying to
decipher all this geek-speak into something that makes sense for everybody.

The answer is "you don't". PSTs can't be shared.

Why does your boss want it in the F drive?
Public Folders are where teams can share Contacts. That's how Outlook works.
Try a google search on Public Folders Outlook and show the boss some of the
articles you find about how they work.
I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
