Customizing the GAL

We are running Windows 2003 ent and Exchange 2003 ent in a cluster.  We
modified the GAL so as to populate it with only people from our AD domain
(being that we have two domains).  The problem is that we can only see
objects that have an email address that ends in "mail.mydomain.com".  We
would also like to be able to see external addresses like contacts too.
Would someone be willing to take a look at the attached screen shot to see
how I need to modify my query to make it work.  Thanks for any help.

You could try something like the below as a custom advanced search:

(|(&(|(objectClass=group)(objectClass=user))(proxyAddresses=smt***@mail.mydomain.com))(objectClass=contact))

Best regards,
Steven

No, if I past that over what I already had it only returns "Contacts".  If I
past that after what I already had it returns nothing at all.

My bad Presley,

That DID work!  It was user error.  I forgot to replace "mydomain.com" with
MY real domain.  duh...!  Thanks for your help.
