Looking to share Global Address Lists between 2 separate companies.

Sorry. Wasn't thinking. Misread the post! GRRRR!!

Hey everyone!
My company was purchased by another. We have set up calendar sharing, but now they would like us to see each other GAL's.
We both use Office2013/365. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished? Or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

  • 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?

    Hi Kay_some,
    >>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. <<
    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.
    Since the support and updates for Office 2003 is no longer available. Office 2003 products no longer receive the following:
    Assisted support
    Online content updates
    Software updates from Microsoft Update
    Security updates to help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information.
    To get more powfull experience about using Access, I suggest that you update it to the latest version.
    In addtion, this forum is for developers discussing developing issues about Access, if you have issues about end-user, you can get more effective response from
    Microsoft Office TechNet or

  • 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:

  • Exchange 2013: Problem with Default Global Address List after migration

    I just completed a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  The 2007 box has been decommissioned just last week.  I have been seeing weird issues with our offline addressbook and global address list, since the migration, but always thought
    it was related to Ex2007.  Well the issues still exist and here's what i've found so far:
    1.  If any user goes to Schedule Appointment in Outlook, and they click the Rooms button (on the Scheduling Assistant page), we get a LONG wait (about 5 mins or more) and then an error that says:  "The operation could not be completed because
    an offline address book is not available.  Download a copy of the offline address book."  When i click OK, the address book is up, with the "All Rooms" list showing blank (we have 3 rooms in Exchange currently).
    2.  Now if I go to the Address Book in Outlook it opens to the GAL and it's up to date...  I can also force an update to the offline address book after adding a new group or entry, so i know offline address books are being updated properly and
    working.  HOWEVER, if i go to any of the other address lists (besides Contacts and GAL) under All Address Lists (All Contacts, All Groups, All Rooms, All Users and Public Folders) I get the same error given above:  "The operation could not be
    completed because an offline address book is not available.  Download a copy of the offline address book." 
    3.  I went to the Exchange 2013 EAC and went to Organization -> Address Lists.  Everything under here said 'NO' under the Up-to-Date column.  When i looked at the properties on each list, and clicked save, I had to update to the new version.
     After doing this, the Up-to-Date column said 'YES'.  I could do all lists EXCEPT for the GAL.  It still says 'NO'
    4.  The last thing i did was set my Outlook to NOT be in cached mode.  This should give me a direct connection to the GAL and all lists, if I'm not mistaken...  So when i do this, I cannot even open see the GAL.  The ONLY option in the
    Address Book that comes up is Contacts (which are my personal ones).
    5.  I just now ran Get-GlobalAddressList | fl  in powershell on the Ex2013 server.  I see some things that make me wonder...   First; nothing in the RecipientFilter field, however, there is something in the LdapRecipientFilter field.
     Second; the RecipientFilterType field says "Legacy".  and Third; the RecipientFilterApplied field says "False".
    Didn't know what these should all be, but it appears maybe this is the cause of all my issues??  Can someone help me out here.. even if i have to recreate a new GAL, i'm fine with that, I just don't know all the steps to do so.  I just need it
    to work!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In my opinion, it is better to confirm whether the GAL is good, first.
    How about the GAL working in OWA?
    If GAL working well in OWA, it seems the issue on the Outlook Client or Connectivity side.
    Please trying to run Outlook on the safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall for testing.
    Please follow the steps as below to narrow down the OAB issue.
    Following are the locations that .lzx files in CAS server and BMX server:
    CAS:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB
    MBX:
    C:\Program Files\Micorosft\Exchange Server\V15\ExchangeOAB
    Please verify whether the .lzx files update to the latest.
    1. If the .lzx files in MBX server not update to the latest.
    It should be an issue on the OAB generation side.
    2. If the .lzx files in MBX server is latest, but CAS server not.
    It should be a distribution issue.
     1) Please run Get-OabVirtualDirectory command in EMS to verify whether at least one OAB VD exist in the org. If not, please create a new one.
     2) Please make sure whether any setup for Web Distribution. Selecting the “Enabling an Offline Address Book for Web Distribution” checkbox.
     3) Please force restart File Distribution services to distribute OAB files manually.
    3. If the .lzx files in MBX server and CAS server are all update to the latest.
    It should be the connectivity between CAS server and Client issue.
     1)Please verify the network.
     2)Please check DNS, MX, etc. configuration.
     3)Please run “Test E-mail AutoConfiguration” to check the AutoDiscover details.
       Please make sure the OAB URLs are correct.
       If the OAB URLs are incorrect, please using following command to re-set them:
       Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "ServerFQDN\OAB (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl
    https://www.contoso.com/OAB -InternalUrl
    https://mail.contoso.com/OAB
     4)Please checking the App log and finding solutions from Microsoft Technet articles or KB, according to the Event ID.
     5)If it still not working after performing the methods above unfortunately, please trying to re-build OAB Virtual Directory.
       Article for reference:

  • Global address list lookup

    I noticed that when you lookup a contact or group in the GAL you see the alias property and not the display name in the result. When people search they are unaware of the alias name of the group and more aware of the diplay name. The display name is usually what you search. Now when you search iOS seems to search both the display names and the alias. But when showing the result only the alias is shown. This is a bug in my opinion and the display name is what should be shown with the alias in parenthesis.

    I agree - I've noticed that contacts in the Exchange Global Address List are not included in the listing of contacts on the iPhone - I get that, as they're stored on the Exchange Server itself. However, it would be a huge benefit if the iPhone would, by default, query the GAL when performing any contact search.
    It's very uninituitive to end-users and they have a difficult time understanding the distinction between the local contacts and the Exchange-based contacts (which, in a work environment, are typically the contacts they're looking for).

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/activedirectoryua/archive/2011/01/14/import-mail-contact-into-active-directory-using-csvde.aspx
    Jan
    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....

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • Updating Global Address Lists and its corresponding attributes

    What do these attributes have to do with the updating of global address lists?
    1.msExchAddressBookFlags
    2.msExchModerationFlags
    3.msExchProvisioningFlags
    and what exactly happens with showInAddressBook when hide from address lists are selected or unselected?? 

    Hi,
    1. MSExchAddressBookFlags attribute is a flag about the default address list to display for Outlook users address lists. When the value is set to 0, the user would set Contacts as the default address list, when the user opens Address Book, it firstly displays
    user’s Contact.
    2. MsExchModerationFlags attribute on the Distribution Group indicates if sending the auto approval to senders.
    3. About the msExchProvisioningFlags attribute, there is no official article explaining it. Your understanding will be appreciated.
    Hope this can be helpful to 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.
