Address Book and MS Exchange

Is there a way to use Mac's Address Book with Exchange Server 2003? I am working on getting them to enable IMAP access so I can use mail.app but am so ready to punt Entourage. I figure worst case scenario I can use the WebAccess to e-mail and mac apps for everything else.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Unfortunately NO
The only way is to use Entourage and sync with Mac Address book. Whenever you want to sync, you have to do the same overwriting existing Mac Address book. The option that you see in Address book does not sync with Exchange Server 2003. As per Apple's document it does with older version (2000) only.

We have to wait until Apple realises there is new version of Exchange just like Tiger ...

Address Book and MailStreet Exchange Server not synchronizing

I was reading the discussion in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147) but it has been archived and I can't reply there. So here's a new topic.
I'm having the same problem, only I'm trying to connect to a hosted Exchange 2007 server through mailstreet.com. I also successfully connected and synchronized to a hosted Exchange 2003 server through mail2web.com, so it appears that the poster who says that Address Book only works with Exchange 2000 was mistaken.
I found little reference to this issue online except for one article at Snerdware (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147), which mentions in the fourth and fifth paragraphs from the bottom that this person had the exact same issue with the MailStreet setup.
I have a hard time believing that it is specifically the MailStreet service that is at fault, since Address Book connects to the same ports that are opened for Outlook Web Access and the WebDAV services that Entourage connects via (and Entourage successfully connects to the MailStreet server using the Exchange WebDAV protocol).
Is it a setting thing? I've tried every permutation of the MailStreet Exchange server's address (including prepending it with http://, https://, suffixing it with /exchange, /exchange/username, /exchange/domain\username, using my login with just my username and with domain\username, etc. I cannot get it to work.
MailStreet customer service said that unfortunately they do not support synchronzing with the OS X Address Book. However, the agent who emailed me back did say that he has heard of it working sometimes with the same settings I was attempting to use, so that both encourages and discourages me.
Any ideas how to make this work?
Also, I have the install disc for 10.5 but have not yet upgraded. Maybe the Leopard Address Book app has additional Exchange functionality...?

I found another thread that more closely describes the problem I'm having:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1045312&tstart=3705
I've identified the same Translator crash mentioned in that thread. Each time I try to manually sync Address Book with the Exchange server, I see the Translator crash pop up in the console.
This is now happening on two Exchange servers. I have not gone back and tested to see if the Mail2Web one works--that will likely be my next step. But what on earth could be configured incorrectly to cause Translator to crash?
Interestingly, if I change the Outlook Web Access server setting from https://server.domainname.com/exchange/domain\username to https://server.domainname.com/exchange, I get an error popping up that "iSync couldn't connect to Exchange / Could not reach the server specified." With it in the former setting (which is how Address Book defaulted the Outlook Web Access server setting after I entered the username and password), it fails silently but Translator crashes in the background.
Interestingly, too, with the former option, I see either no TCP traffic with tcpdump or one short line of gibberish with my IP address talking to the Exchange server's address. With the latter option (without the domain and username appended to the end), I see a good bit more TCP traffic--more like 20 rows in a standard-sized Terminal window, so it is talking to something.

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

Microsoft Exchange Categories in iCal, Address Book and Mail

I work in a Microsoft environment with my MacBook Pro and would like to use iCal, Address Book and Mail as my default applications rather than Microsoft Oulook 2011, however, there is not support for the Microsoft Exchange Categories to be replicated into the various Apple applications. This results in my address book not to differentiate any longer from my contact categories stored on the Exchange server, nor my calendar. Categories can be created in iCal and other Apple applications but it then requires for the event or contact to be duplication "On my Mac" which makes me loose my synchronization with other systems. Any idea about to fix that?

Same issue here. I would love to migrate to iCal but the lack of support for categories is a limiting factor. Same applies to Contacts.

Address Book and Exchange Server - NO NOTES SYNCING???

I have my address book syncing very nicely with my exchange server, but notes do not seem to want to sync. If I create a note on the web access, it doesn't copy to the address book, and none of the address book notes copy to the exchange.
I can't get an answer out of Apple Support either if they are supposed to sync or not! Has anyone here gotten notes to sync with exchange?
Thanks so much. I have searched for over 4 hours on Google and these boards, and noone even mentions notes, leaving me to believe that they SHOULD sync.

Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!

Issues with Global Address Book and Out of Office saying Exchange is Offline.

So we have an Exchange 2010 server that has been running fine for quite a few years. We recently changed our firewall to an ASA 5510 and created all the firewall rules necessary to have email work through it. Everything works fine so naturally we thought
everything was good to go.
Then I started getting messages that the Out of Office wasn't working an that when users where trying to set their away message they would get a message from outlook that the exchange server was unavailable, yet when I
check the outlook client it would say Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. I thought this was crazy so I started looking further into it and it turns out that the name for the server owa.xxxxxx.net points to a public address, which of course lives
on the outside interface to the ASA. In ASA world it doesn't like private space (ie. 192.168.x.x) talking to the outside interface and drops the packets, where our old firewall did not. So as a short term fix I had the users using OWA site with a internal
address to set their out of office message. This worked fine until today when I rebooted the email server and started getting support calls saying that when users where selecting the To: button in a new email that once again they were getting messages saying
that they were not connected to exchange, yet they once again outlook said they were. I then started playing with the host name owa.xxxxxx.net again. This time I changed the hosts file on a box and pointed the internal IP of the exchange server to that
host name. Restarted the outlook client and things started to work as they should. I have played with split DNS to see if this would help so I wouldn't have to do this with every client in the network, and it was promising until I realized that we many hosts
that use this domain and an external DNS server that takes care of these requests that now the internal users will never reach. Funny part is that if we take one of our laptops out side the network everything works fine as well.
So I'm guessing that some of the processes that connect Outlook to Exchange use the FQDN of the server or IP address, and that other things such as the Global Address Book and Out of Office use the External Host Name.
Any help to point these request at the Internal FQDN/IP would be great, or if someone can think of another way of dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Titan,
correct me if i have missed something but are users able to look up contacts in GAL?
If you update (ex mobile number for a user) then run the following commands(one for each line):
Get-GlobalAddressList | update-GlobalAddressList
Get-AddressList | update-AddressList
Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
Restart Your Outlook in 5 min,then do a manual OAB download.Is info on that user updated?
Does GAL from frm OWA?
if im not wrong,Status and Out of Office use EWS for status update.
Please run the following command:
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “mailserver01\EWS (Default Web Site)” |fl *internalUrl*
where mailserver01 is the server that is having the issue.
Then please check if internal URL is correct for that server (and those that are having issues.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

Address book and exchange

Hi,
I'm using exchange email at work and I already configured my ipad to sync with email, contacts and calendar.
The problem is that when I connect my iPad with iTunes to sync them also with my Mac (Address Book and Calendar), the exchange contacts on my iPad are not listed in iTunes.
Can you please help on how to copy and sync exchange contacts/calendars from my iPad to my MAC?
Thanks
Cesare

Syncing Address book and Exchange 2007 - some problems

Hello,
I do have a weird problem, not all of my contacts are uploaded to exchange when I create them in Address Book. I need this so that exchange pushes them on my Blackberry.
In Address Book 5 (Snow Leopard), I do have 2 accounts : On My Mac and Exchange.
Do I need to copy them over? If yes, then, how to avoid duplicates?
Thanks beforehand for your help.
Jean-Francois.

Since Apple does not even support public folders of the type "mail" for their Apple Mail, I doubt they will support "contact" PFs any time soon. Your only chance will be to add the information from your contact PFs to you Active Directory as "Contacts". These will be shown in your Exchange GAL, which is accessible with Address Book and your Outlook users will still be able to also use the contacts.

Address Book and Google Contacts syncronization

I am trying to sync my Address Book and my Google Contacts with each other. I followed the guide on Google to import contacts using the application "A to G" but that doesn't include photos, which are a big part of why I wanted to do it.
I have in the past synced my address book with my facebook so that has a photo for each of my friends (their profile pics at the time) and since I have deleted my facebook account for privacy reasons.
I just tried to export a single contact in either 2.1 or 3.0 format, and neither imported correctly.
On looking it up online, I see one version had an option to sync with Google dynamically, but I don't see it in the preferences area - there is an option for Exchange, Yahoo, MobileMe but no Google - also I don't know if that will work with my Google Apps so cleanly.

Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

Managing pesonal AND Corp/push address book and calendar.

I have read through several pages of postings and not found anything on this, and I can't be the only one impacted by this...
I connected to my corp email server today, and to my surprise all my personal contacts AND my personal calendar were both wiped out. I expected them to merge... or at a minimum a "sure you wanna do this" but neither just gone.
I understand you can't have Mobile me AND Exchange sync since those are both over the air...but can't I have all my work data sync in real time and my personal calendar and address book just sync when I connected to sync my itunes library since those don't change much? Surely... you can have two calendars (or at least two views?) and lists of contact's- can't you??

FYI My personal contacts and calendar are in "address book" and "ical"... if you couldnt guess that.

Address Book and using with Motorola v600

I'm having trouble using the "Dial with cell phone" and "SMS Message" functions in Address Book with my Motorola v600. I click on the Bluetooth button in Address Book to pair it with my phone, and the pairing is successful. However, the functions are still grayed-out.
I'm able to sync my Address Book and Calendar with my v600 phone using iSync. And I'm also able to navigate through the audio/video filles on my phone using Bluetooth File Exchange. So I don't think there's a problem with the connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the SMS and Dial with Cell Phone functions in Address Book to work with the Motorola v600? Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

wait, i meant contacts. for some reason the ipod touch will sync with windows contacts but won't sync with windows calendar.
he will need microsoft outlook to sync his calendar.
for contacts he doesn't need extra software:
in the overview screen when the ipod is connected to itunes there is an info tab, in the contacts section, set it to sync with windows contacts.

Need help with Mail address book and calendar.

Hello,
I am a new Mac User. I just purchased my first MacBook. My goal is to switch totally over to Mac for both home and work. I was able to get the mail program to pull down my exchange mail, however it does not appear to have taken in my address book.
My goal would be for my machine to totally sync up with my mail, and calendar the same way that my iPhone does. Is there a way to do this?
If I can't get my contacts and calendar to "sync". I will not be able to use my Mac at work.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jason

I do not believe you can sync your data between Outlook and Address Book and iCal. You can transfer data using a third-party utility, Outlook2Mac. However, you could integrate with your Outlook account using Entourage, one of the Office 2008 applications. You would have to purchase Microsoft Office 2008.

Syncing iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks via AirPort Extreme?

Does anyone know of a way to keep iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks in sync across three Macs that are connected via AirPort Extreme? I don't want to use MobilMe at this time.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Frank

Hey, Lehmann:
You need a server to process the information being sent out by your Macs. The server is what will determine which machines need what information, and will initiate the transfer. The Airport Extreme can't be this server as it only contains the functionality of a router. Most developers opt to develop WAN-based syncing (ie, MobileMe, Exchange, etc.) because LAN would be covered under that umbrella, so it's two for the price of one (I also think syncing over WAN is more convenient and more often the desired solution).
I don't know of any LAN-based syncing solutions (ie, one that would turn one of your computers into the server to process the data and manage the syncing), but I can at least give you some of the tech language to help define what you're looking for and help your search.
Can I ask why you want to keep the syncing server local? Is it a security concern? I love MobileMe and would highly recommend it unless there is a need for military-level security.

Address book and Calendar

I wish to use my iPod mainly as a personal organiser.
At present I keep all my appointments in Calendar within Windows Live Mail and my contacts in Contacts in Live Mail on my Windows 7 PC.
Can I synchronise, or transfer these from Windows to my iPod, if so how?
If this isn't possible, what software should I use in Windows for Calendar and Contacts that can be synchronised with the iPod?
I have Outlook 2002 available, but apparently one needs 2003 or higher to work with the App, and I don't want to spend money on upgrading.
Advice would be appreciated

You can access a Windows Live email account as an Exchange account with the iOS Mail app.
This provides push access for received messages and over the air syncing for contacts and calendar events with your Windows Live online address book and calendar.

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..
aNYONE WILLING TO DUMP SEWAGE ON MICROSOFT AND aPPLE... UNCOOPERATIVE TWITS. - boh should be smacked.
