I'm experiencing some difficulties configuring Outlook to access an
Active Directory server on W2003Server (the domain controller of my
network). When using Outlook Express I've no problem in browsing a
specific OU where I've recorded all the "global" contacts whereas using
Outlook I'm not able to list any entry or, better, I see only the user
entry corresponding to the user I'm logging in with. I've seen some
previous posts about this problem but I was unable to find any hint to
face the problem. Have you some suggestions ?
Thank you.

Probably best to post this to a Windows group as the problem is probably in
the configuration of Windows, not Outlook.

I think the problem is related to the fact that I'm connecting a remote
LDAP address book (my AD server) that is also my domain controller.
Outlook Express works fine, so I think there could be a trick in
outlook or AD configuration to prevent this effect to occurr, but ...
Thank you any more.
