Address ListsI'm finishing to set up a fresh install of W2K3 Server + Exchange Server 2003 SP2. I wish to set up a list of external addresses (not belonging to the AD) which will be accessible to the Exchange users from their Outlook 2003 clients. Read/write rights need to be applied to his list. I did it by putting the addresses in a specific Public Folder accessible from Outlook (under the Exchange System Attendant). I have three questions: 1. Is it the best practice to do that? The Address lists and Global Address Lists drill-down of the Exchange System Attendant seems to me more appropriate, but I am not sure it is possble... 2. I did apply the rights to the AD users (Reviewer, Author, etc.) but it doesn't work. The Users with the "only" Read right can still modify, delete, etc., the adresses in the list. What are the Default and Anonymous (visible in the drop list when you set the rights) used for? Can I delete them or set them with None right? 3. To make the new List visible in Outlook, I need to go on each Outlook client and check the Show as an address book check-box in the Properties of the list. Not very convenient... I want to avoid to have to go on every computer... Help appreciated! Nicolas I would use ldifde -i -f filename.ldf to import all of it into the AD.
Thanks
Is it a good idea to import hundreds of addresses in the AD? I don't really wish to mix up Internet e-mail adresses, and my user adresses and the AD objects... Moreover, these addresses are often in folders, and sub-folders, and sub-sub-folders. I don't see how to fit them nicely in the AD...

that's available to everyone who might need access to it... -- Show quoteSusan Conkey [MVP] "Nicolas Macarez" <maca***@free.fr> wrote in message news:ePZcWMPWGHA.3332@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Thanks > > Is it a good idea to import hundreds of addresses in the AD?

In fact that's what I did. But I need more light on this subject as you may have seen on my first post at the beginning of this thread...

in order to add these non-AD External Address to your GAL, the best way which based on Best Practices is to add them as contacts under one OU , lets say External Email OU under Active Directory and then create an Address Book View under All Address List from Exchange System Manager Console. you can find more information under microsoft site on how to create address book views under Exchange System Manager, i advice you to download the Deployment and Administration Guide of Exchange Server 2003 and have a look on them, the will help you alot. i hope i answered your question and i could provide a useful information to you. please let me know if the information was useful or you need more help on this issue.
