Accessing the global Address List using Java Outlook Connector

Hi All,
I have written a code to access the Global Address List using (Jar) in Java outlook Connector
However i am able to retriev the name and email address of that employee only.
I want the other details like location(particularly).
Please help out.
Thanks,
Arijit.

The scenario is i am an employee and i want to get information regarding other employees(name,location) which are stored in outlook through my java application(using JOC).Just a point of clarification, there is no actual java code in the Sun Outlook Connector. The use of Java with most of our products names is for marketing/branding purposes only.
Now there are employees who are not stored in my address book or local contacts.For them when i try to read the GAL i can get only their name and email address.So the 'cn:' (name) and 'mail:' (email address) attributes are being provided by the directory for a GAL search.
however if i try displaying their details using the JOC it comes with proper information through the outlook pop up but cannot read this data.As I said in my previous response, the data that the Sun Outlook Connector provides in the GAL view is determined by the user that the GAL binds to the directory server as, plus the restrictions that user has on the information the directory server will provide for GAL searches/queries.
This bind user is usually different from the 'super-user' bind user that UWC/Communications Express uses which is why you may see more information in UWC/CE compared to in the GAL in Outlook.
Therefore you need to work with the Directory Server administrator to increase the information that the Sun Outlook Connector user is able to see.

Importing Shared Contacts into the Global Address List (Outlook 2013)

A colleague of mine has made a contact list which is going to be shared with other colleagues to increase productivity.
His question is, if it's possible to import the contact list into the Global Address List after it has been shared?
The contact list does not appear in my Global Address List, instead it appears in the People section (next to Calender).
If you need technical info about the office version etc., feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance.

SP-Brown,
You can import contacts into Active Directory, so that it can be included in GAL. There are some gotchas with that however. Maybe, a simple Outlook folder sharing is more convenient for you. You can share Outlook Contacts folders among collagues just the
same as Outlook Calendar sharing works. Start here:
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Share-an-Outlook-calendar-with-other-people-cafb9303-1b1e-40d3-839d-b6abac03a5e8
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-58ca1290-e170-4f89-a213-03aa6750bcf3
With Exchange Public Folders you can achieve somewhat the same.
If you really want to mess with AD and the GAL, this is your article:

The ideal situation would be if the shared Contacts Folder shows up in the Offline GAL, but I'll try to fiddle around with it for a bit.
Is there also a possibilty that users can import a contact list so that appears in their Offline GAL?, I do think that it might be a hassle to keep the contacts updated....

How to hide all users in a particular OU in the Global Address List.

We are running DirSync and ADFS in our O365 environment. We want to hide all students in our GAL. We know this can be done one user object at a time in ADSIeditor, but does anyone have a method or PSSscript to hide all user objects that are contained in
a particular OU? Trying to avoid a tedious manual process.
Mike

Hi Mike,
The scripts posted by others should be helpful for you, please also note if you want to run powershell in O365 environment, you need to follow this article:
Connect Windows PowerShell to Exchange Online service to connect the exchange online firstly.
In addition, this script may be helpful for you to customize your own script:
Hide users from GAL
I hope this helps.

Exchange 2007 Global Address List

I connect to my organisations Exchange 2007 server.
My address book syncs for my personal contacts, appearing in address book as a brown book icon with an @ symbol.
However, there is also a blue book icon with an "i" on it. When I click on it, in the right hand pane appears "Search [organisation] global address list", but there are no entries.
I can access the global address list either through Outlook Web Access (OWA) or Outlook (on a PC), so I know there are entries there. On OWA, my personal entries appear in Contacts, whereas the global address list appears on OWA in address book.
Any tips on how to access the global address book from within Address Book on Mac?
Thanks in advance.

Further update, if I do a search whilst "Search [organisation] global address list" is displaying, it does search the global address list and bring up results from it.

Accessing global address list

Hi,
We have Outlook 2003 installed with the Collaboration Suite and Outlook Connector. In Outlook VBA I am trying to access the Oracle global address list with MAPI. This takes about 20 minutes to return the selected recipients from the address list (we have 11000 entries). Is there another way to access the global address list? Where are the users stored? Are they stored in a table of the oracle database I could query with sql?
I'm sorry if my questions are naive, I am quite new in this business :).
Thanks for any answers in advance.

Hello
I don't know if you can do LDAP with VBA, but the OCS directory can be querried that way.

Cannot save new outlook contacts or access Global Address List

I have outlook 2007 connected via VPN to exchange server. I can
1) Send and receive emails
2) Edit contacts that have already been created some time ago
3) Copy and paste existing contacts
However, when I try and save a new contact it says the Microsoft exchange server is not available. I am connected because I am showing as connected and contacts created via the outlook web app appear almost immediately in my Outlook. However,
I cannot save any edits to these but can copy and paste as a whole record.
Also, I cannot access the Global Address Book at all.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Zeze

Hi Zeze,
Please check whether the issue happens in Outlook Online mode. If it doesn’t happen in Online mode, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

Outlook Connector - Address book - Global Address List

Using Outlook Connector version 7.2.402.1 on both Outlook 2003 and 2007 I am having an issue when trying to view the Global Address List. The vertical scroll bar doesn't activate unless I resize my Address Book window. Even after that it doesn't work that well. It is very erratic.
I have set up a VLV index for the Address book as follows:
dn: cn=outlook_connector_browsing_index,cn=xyz,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
cn: outlook_connector_browsing_index
objectclass: top
objectclass: vlvSearch
vlvbase: o=xyz.edu,dc=xyz,dc=edu
vlvfilter: (&(mail=*)(cn=*))
vlvscope: 2
dn: cn=Sort cn,cn=outlook_connector_browsing_index,cn=xyz,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
cn: Sort cn
objectclass: top
objectclass: vlvIndex
vlvenabled: 1
vlvsort: cn
Doing a tail -f on the access log while using the Address Book I can see the VLV index being used. Is there something buggy with the Outlook Connector or is there something I missed in the VLV index?
Thanks,
Scott

It does not seem to work with SSL connections. When Outlook starts up, I get an error that it cannot connect the address book server.I was able to find the following that may be a cause for your problem:

6228253 : Login to Address Book server fails through Outlook.
Users are unable to log into the Address Book server though Outlook if the Address Book (in Communications Express) is in SSL mode.
Workaround: Open Communications Express within Internet Explorer and permanently accept the self-signed certificate.In this case instead of Communications Express, you would log into Convergence using the SSL path (https://server.domain.com/iwc) and permanently accept the certificate.

Outlook Global Address List question

Hello,
We have changed our company name and I have updated all our users in Exchange 2007 so they have the new email address, but when users open their Outlook clients (2007-210) and click on the Global address list it will show "Global Address List - [email protected]"
instead of "Global Address List - [email protected]"
I I recreate the uses Outlook profile is will then show the users correct name, but I can' do this for 100s of uses, is there a workaround?
Thanks

mail enabled user, and mailbox enabled user are two different things.....
You need to look at what that 3rd party piece of software is doing. If it is manipulating Exchange mailboxes, then it needs to use the Exchange cmdlets. Directly ripping attributes is not how this is tested or supported. Please get them
to use the proper Exchange tools to manage Exchange recipients.

Outlook / Oracle Global Address List

Just a couple of quick questions regarding manipulating the Global Address List.
Firstly, is it possible to hide an entry that exists in the Oracle Directory Service from the GAL (for example, removing the orcladmin user from the address book).? Also whats the best way to expose an Alias to the GAL? We use aliases, coupled with a server side rules, to deliver mail to shared folders and would like the aliases visible in the address book to all users.
On an unrelated point, is it possible to automatically un-hide new shared folders within the outlook connector? (i.e. instead of having to go to the properties for Shared Folders and manually un-hiding them on each users machine, can it be done administratively, remotely?)
Thanks.

Outlook Connector - Global Address list

Our Outlook hangs when we try to open the Global Address List from LDAP. This totally locks the computer.
What should be done to overcome the problem?

What do you see in the LDAP access log when you do this?
It's possible that your global list is returning more entries than your ldap is configured to allow, ad Outlook isn't happy with the results. It's also possible that the search is simply taking a loooong time.

for a specific user.
Thanks!
Joe

I suggest posting the problem again, this time in Getting Online and Networking. Make sure you indicate that you are on an external network, and include details of the LDAP server system. There are some serious experts there.
Also, you could try asking your network administrator to allow access from your ip address ...

Exchange 2010- Global Address List

Hello,
I've created an automatic on-line room booking using outlook. I've also set-up external users with a limited user account which has access to Outlook Web Access to allow them to log in and book the meeting rooms. I have also changed some permissions which I
was hoping will limit the external users access to the Global Address List, by doing so the external users now can't access the rooms list. Is there a way to restrict the access to the Global Address List without restricting the access to the room list for
our external users?
Thank you, Cyan Petals

Hi,
How do you make the external users access Exchange mailbox from OWA?
Generally, we can use Address book policies (ABPs) to segment users into specific groups to provide customized views of your organization’s global address list (GAL). And it can be assigned to Exchange mailboxes.

Downloaded Global Address List does not download all fields

I have my Global Address List from the Exchange Server linked into an Access 2003 database. (Will not link to Access 2007, 2010 format). There is one field (TITLE) that appears in the structure of the linked table but the data for that field is not
downloaded. When I look at the Global Address List in Outlook, the TITLE field is populated with the appropriate data. How can I get the data from the TITLE field into the Access linked table?

If I understood correctly, the data of TITLE filed didn't download in Access 2003. Also as far as I tested, this field works well in Access 2013.
