How do I share Exchange Global Address List (GAL) across different forests without using federated services

We have two domains in separate forests, One forest has Exchange 2013 server, how do we get a constantly up to date Global Address list of users
from the "Other" forest?
Thanks.

Hi,
We can configure Global Address List (GAL) Synchronization with Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010:

Is there a way to remove Exchange global address list from phone/Mail app?

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3. Wondering if there is a way I can prevent an Exchange global address list from loading when I compose a message. I am only syncing Mail - not contacts or calendars. Also tried dropping and re-adding account to see if that did anything. This is a personal phone connected to company's Exchange account (legitimately) - I would like to reduce the chance that I incorrectly email a company employee from my personal account when composing a message.

That is what I expected Chris, but to answer your question - yes. I have two accounts setup with the Mail app - Gmail and Exchange. Gmail is the default even. When I am in the Gmail account, compose a new message, just typing "john" for example, brings up most recently used john's first, then all the Johns in my company. I really would prefer not to even have those names populate. Not sure if that can be prevented without dropping the Exchange mail account altogether. That is my question - and thank you for your reply.

Exchange Global Address List search not showing name or email

I have an iPhone and iPad connected to a Microsoft Exchange server at work. When I search the GAL for a person in the company, the results are shown as the Company only (data coming from the 'Company' field on the Exchange server) instead of the contact's name.
Here are the steps I'm taking:
- I go to Contacts app, select 'Groups', then select 'Global Address List'
- I type in a name of a person I'd like to email. For example I type John to search for all the Johns in the company.
- I get a seach result that lists anyone with John in their name. The problem is the search results list the company name instead of the user's/contact's name. (If the 'Company' field is blank in Outlook/Exchange, I CAN see the user's name).
So my search results for John look like this:
COMPANY
COMPANY
John Smith
Sarah Johnson
COMPANY
COMPANY
COMPANY
John Deer
COMPANY

There is software available that would give you support for GAL and some other SP2 features on a S60 phone. Check here: http://www.dataviz.com/products/roadsync/series60/index.html

Cannot see Global Address List (GAL) when I type in name in email

we have BES 10 with some Q10s and Z10s. on this one particular Z10, when I begin to type a name in, it does not automatically give me suggestions withinthe global address list (a list below) with the names that have that sequence in.
On all the other ones, I get suggestions that are part of the GAL. is there a setting for this and how can I make it so it suggests/looks up the gal when I type a name in?
to circumvent this I can type a name in and then click on 'lookup' and then it resolves some names within the GAL, but this is tedious and the other phones don't act this way.
thanks for any help

Do you want to change to your name for just the email and/or your MBP? As it stands now, your sister is the admin not you.
If you just want to change the email and you are using Apple's Mail, post in the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard/Mail forum. If using 3rd party email client, post in their forum.

Global Address List (GAL) does not show up under group Contacts

I am an exchange administrator for a large organization. One of our user has an issue where he cannot see the GAL on his phone. Goes to Contacts, tap Groups, no option for GAL available. I have set up the Exchange account on the phone and he can get emails. Mail, Contacts, Calendars are all on. I have deleted the exchange account and created a new one but still no GAL. Please help. Thank you in advance!

On my phone I go to the Groups screen and at the bottom of the list it says "(account name) Global Address List".

Duplicates in Outlook connector global address list (GAL)

I am getting duplicates in GAL of Outlook 2007, some addresses appear seven times or more. I have followed the guide for VLV Browsing, it makes no difference to the problem. There are less duplicates if I use search base: ou=People,o=Organization1,dc=example,dc=com. Actually I want to use search base: dc=example,dc=com, thus showing all the organizations (truely global address book). In order for this to work I have use the ACI access control to filter the entries that I want in the GAL (ACI I'm using is below). I seems that when I filter out entries with "psincludeingab=false" It correctly doesn't display that contact but a duplicate entry of another contact occurs in it's place. It's as if it's getting empty entries due to ACI filtering and filling the blank entries in with the last successfully retrieved entries. Thunderbird GAL (ldap address book) is much better, I can filter it server -side (ACI) or client side (search filter in the advanced tab). I have been battling with this issue for a while now, I can't understand why nobody else appears to have this problem.
ACI for valid users/groups/resources:
ACI syntax:
(target = ldap:///o=*,dc=example,dc=com) (targetscope = subtree) (targetfilter = (& (!(psincludeingab=false)) (|(objectclass=inetorgperson)(objectclass=inetResource)(objectclass=icscalendargroup))))(targetattr != "userPassword") (version 3.0; acl "Access Corporate Directory"; allow (read, compare, search) (userdn = "ldap:///uid=*,ou=People,o=*,dc=example,dc=com");)
ACI location:
dc=example,dc=com

1) I can't easily share address books accross orgs/domains.Sharing personal address-books across hosted domains is definitely a useful feature. I could however not find an existing RFE (request for enhancement) to have this feature added to Convergence or UWC/CE so it seems the demand for such a feature is low.
2) I can't subsribe or even access subcribed address books in Convergence.Bug #6690621 - "Enable advanced personal address book functionality (creation/deletion/sharing)". Hopefully this feature is added in Convergence Update 1.
3) I can't access any address book (other than GAL) in Thunderbird.Thunderbirds in-built LDAP functionality is basic i.e. no LDAP write support which makes integrating LDAP PAB address-book functionality costly to develop. As no paying customers seem to care enough about Thunderbird PAB support to raise this as an issue I don't believe there are any intentions to address this in the short-term.
The longer-term vision is to provide a CardDAV server for which there are existing Thunderbird extensions:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Project+Aries
4) I can't create a user that exists in more than one org/domain whilst having only one mailbox yet able to send from all their domain aliases. The problem with this workaround is neither Comms Express nor Convergence allow change of From address and thus consolidated sent items is not possible.Actually it is possible to customize Comms Express to allow a user to select from a From: drop-down listing of their mailequivalentaddress: attributes. I have provided these steps to customers who have logged support cases in the past.
There is a longer-term plan to have 'multiple send identities' in Convergence along the same lines as Thunderbird.
RFE #6673157 - "Multiple send identies".
On the whole I'm very happy with Comms Suite, I like the fact that it all works over Internet, not just LAN (thick client, thin client and administration interfaces).The various components of Comm Suite were developed with a large ISP style deployments in mind so working across the Internet is a given.
What could definetely be improved is more features for multi-org/domain companies/enterprises that are both seperate and yet together on different levels and services. In the ISP world hosted domains remain very-much separate. As you have noted this model doesn't apply for smaller deployments (Universities/SME) so there is definitely work that can be done on this level.
Also needs more GUI configuration and managemant services (e.g. mailbox management/statistics, more DA options).The underpinnings of GUI configuration (or at least simplified configuration/administration) is already occurring with a shift towards XML storage of configuration data in Messaging Server (and I believe IM server). This step makes it much easier to build tools (whether they be cli/gui based) which can parse/modify the existing configuration.
But as I'm sure I've mentioned in the past, the only way to get traction on the features you desire is to bring these issues up with your Sun Account Rep.

Get users from Global Address List (GAL) using FindPeople operation of Office 365

I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation. If I perform any search by giving value in the <QueryString> element, I get result from both GAL + My Contacts but if I remove the QueryString, I am forced to provide folder name in which
to search else I get "Internal error" resonse.
Is there any way I can retrieve/browse all the users in GAL ?

>> I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation
How big is your GAL ? the problem with using a QueryString if you want all users is even if you use a string like SMTP: this will only return the first 100 entires in the GAL. There is a note in the link Laeeq posted that states " When
searching the GAL as the primary search folder, you must specify a query string instead of a restriction, because this operation does not allow for browsing of the GAL."
One way you can use to browse the GAL using this operation is to use the Guid of the Gal (or other address list you want to browse) you can get the Addresslist guid using the Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996579(v=exchg.150).aspx and then you can use code like
FindPeopleType fpType = new FindPeopleType();
IndexedPageViewType indexPageView = new IndexedPageViewType();
indexPageView.BasePoint = IndexBasePointType.Beginning;
indexPageView.Offset = 0;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturned = 100;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturnedSpecified = true;
fpType.IndexedPageItemView = indexPageView;
fpType.ParentFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
DistinguishedFolderIdType contactsFolder = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
AddressListIdType adList = new AddressListIdType();
adList.Id = "2117949e-abe8-4915-91eb-9999f867fd8de";
fpType.ParentFolderId.Item = adList;
FindPeopleResponseMessageType fpm = null;
do
fpm = esb.FindPeople(fpType);
if (fpm.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
foreach (PersonaType PsCnt in fpm.People) {
Console.WriteLine(PsCnt.EmailAddress.EmailAddress);
indexPageView.Offset += fpm.People.Length;
else {
throw new Exception("Error");
} while (fpm.TotalNumberOfPeopleInView > indexPageView.Offset);

Display of names in the TO: filed from the Exchange Global Address List

We have a user whose "FIRST" name in Active Directory consists of two names. Like Mary Ellen or Bobby Jo. But both names have been enetered in the TO: field. She is very adamant that she be addressed by both names.
When she receives a message, and if details is clicked, she will see the names of all who the message has been sent to, and she sees only the first part of her name and then her last name. So in the TO: field she'll see Mary Jones instead of Mary Ellen Jones, as an example. If you touch the name, the details will come up and show her full name. However she would like to see the complete "Mary Ellen Jones" in the TO: button. I have discovered that if you enter her name as she wishes in her own contact list, it will then also show all three names as she wiashes. Thought I had her there, but she doesn't want OTHER users who have iPhones to see only Mary Jones, and then would mean I'd someoehow have to populate everyone in the world she sends mail to who have iPhones with her full name in their contacts list. yea.
So is there anyway of having the iphone display the COMPLETE first name it finds in Active Directory instead of just the first part of the first name? So have it show Mary Ellen Jones instead of Mary Jones.

Employee photos in Global Address List (GAL) lookups

I recently read that Exchange 2010 introduces a new cmdlet that lets you import small thumbnail images into Active Directory (the thumbnailPhoto attribute), and these will display in the GAL in Outlook 2010 ( http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2010/03/10/454223.aspx). This got some gears turning, and I've been trying to get the small photos to display on my mobile devices (BlackBerry and iPhone) to no avail. I don't expect to get help for the BlackBerry here, but when I do a GAL lookup on an iPhone, I do see what looks like a placeholder for an image. How do I get an image to display here? Is it the photo attribute in Active Directory? Is it the thumbnailPhoto attribute? Is there some special configuration needed on my Exchange 2007 server for this to show up?
I don't even know if what I want is a possibility, but try it yourself. Do a GAL lookup on your iPhone/iTouch. When you click through to a user, you will see what looks like a placeholder for a picture in the upper left.
You can see an example of what I'm referring to here: http://www.colorado.edu/its/docs/email/exchange/programs/images/iphonegal_06.gif

The cmdlet is new to Exchange 2010, but the Active Directory attributes (photo, jpegPhoto, thumbnailPhoto) are not new. Microsoft wouldn't be able to help, as this is specific to the iPhone. I was just wondering if it were possible to replace the generic photo with one of the actual employee that is retreived from the GAL.
I have seen absolutely nothing stating that this image actually attempts to pull anything from Active Directory, and agree that it could just be using the same template as other contacts. I just figured since the AD attributes have existed for the better part of a decade, and the GAL lookup does show an image, why not pull the thumbnailPhoto and display it here (that attribute is capped at 10KB or 96x96, so it's not like it's pulling that much more data).
Perhaps this would be a question for the iPhone development team, or a feature request. Sadly, I wouldn't know where to find either one of those...

No Global Address List (GAL)??

I just got my iPhone 3G yesterday and got Exchange set up. I am able to send e-mails and set calendar appointments. However, I do not seem to be able to look up people in the GAL. I have sync of contacts disabled from my exchange account. Do I need to have that turned on for GAL to work? I tried turning it on but then it threatened to wipe out the existing contacts on my phone.
The contacts on my phone are largely personal contacts, so I don't want to sync that with the company server.

Hi there--I have same problem. I get corp email, caldendar synchs and i see the personal contacts directories i had setup in outlook...but I cannot ping the GAL directory to find people in the company....let me know if you have had any luck!

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

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.

Disable Global address list suggestions when composing e mail

I got a question of one of my users a few days ago pointing out that when using an Iphone with Active Sync / Exchange synchronisation he is not able to disable e mail address suggestions he gets when typing the e mail address in the TO field comming from the Global Address list.
My user wants to use his personal contacts he uses in Outlook, but does not want to use the Global Address list from exchange. (at least not the automatic suggestions which pop up during typing an e mail in the TO / CC fields when composing an E mail.
I am able to disable this in the Contract app, but not in the E mail app in IOS.
It seems that when I enable to sync the contacts I get both the Personall contacts plus the Global Address list, there is no way to set any setting in regard to the contacts here.
I cannot find any setting which disables the phone of looking up the address I am typing in the Global Address list, having a verry big corporate global address list (we use this in our desktop / outlook environment) this can be verry annoying.
Anyone who can tell me if I can disable this (or not) and if so point me in the right direction ?
Thank you

What device do you have? And what is missing? You Compose a message, choose a name, then they have email addresses missing? or the contact is missing?
