You sound as if you did an in place upgrade from an older version. Never do
that without immediately creating a new Outlook profile because your old
profile's settings will not migrate correctly. Outlook was not designed for
upgrade installations, even though it should have been. At the very least,
you need to remove the LDAP service and replace it with the Outlook Address
Book Service.
