Exchange 2010 - Offline Address Book and Global Address List Issue!
I don't think I'm going crazy but cant find out why this is happening?
When I search the Address book in cached mode (OAB) in outlook for "Jackie W"
I get a number of users which include "Jackie W***"
but some are "Jackie K***" or "Jackie B***"
but their Office is set to "Westminster"
But this is the strange part when I search on the address book with Cached mode disabled (GAL) I only get users with Surnames begging with
"W" so only "Jackie W***" show up and if I just type in "Westminster" I get users form that location! but not a mix like on the OAB! Also when using the OAB if I type
"Jackie West" it brings up the Jackie from Westminster but this dose not happen when using the GAL because there is no
"Jackie West" in the Address book?
To my knowledge the OAB is just a Copy of the GAL that updates every 24 hours, and should be the same (give or take a few starters and leavers in the last 24 hours) and should pull up the same information when searching is this correct or am I going crazy!
:D
Technical Beta Tester || Matthew John Earley BSc (hons) || www.o0MattE0o.myby.co.ukHi MattE,
Does it happen for each Outlook profile you have, from every user account which is on Cached Mode.
A.If not then I believe OAB copy is either corrupted or Out of date.
Checking it on OWA would confirm the actual GAL data.(Similar to Online Exchange)
Client side update runs by default at Startup and every 24hrs , if skipped it will wait for next day or manual update.
1.In Outlook 2010, select the File tab in the upper left corner, then Download Address Book from the Account Settings drop down menu.
Outlook 2007 users should select Tools from Outlooks uppermost menu, then Send/Receive and Download Address Book from the Tools drop down menus.
2.The Offline Address Book window will appear. Make sure the following options are selected:
##De-check the Download changes since last Send/Receive option
##Make sure Full Details is selected
##Make sure the \Global Address List is selected from the Choose address book drop down menu
Q: How frequently is the offline address book updated on the Outlook client?
A: If left constantly running, Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully. For example, if you complete an offline address book download at 09:00 today, Outlook will start the offline address book download the next day at approximately 09:00. Therefore, different people will receive updates at different, random times.
Note The default setting on the Exchange computer is to generate an offline address book differential file every morning at 04:00. For a change that is made in Active Directory to reach the client computer, the following events must occur:•The change must be picked up by the Exchange computer that generates the offline address book files. This can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "x."
•The Outlook clients must download the offline address book updates every 24 hours. This update can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "y."
The update reaches the client machines x+y hours later. It would be rare for a client to ever experience a 48-hour delay or more unless there were some Active Directory or public folder replication issues.
B.If yes, then there is a issue with OAB generation, that needs further troubleshooting depending on the distribution structure used Public Folder based or EWS.
• Try following:
EMC > Organization configuration > Mailbox > Offline address book.
Then right click on "Default offline addressbook" and select properies.
Click on "Distribution" tab, and untick "Enable public folder distribution". Click "Apply" and "OK"
Update the Address Book. Let replication finish.
Now go back to same location and tick "Enable public folder distribution" back again. Click "Apply" and "OK".

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 PetalsHi,
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.

Get name from Outlook Global Address List and other info
Hi, I hope somebody can help me. I'm new in Acrobat scripting so I need some more Help.
I have a link that executes a script that will send an e-mail message.
This is my script:
app.mailMsg(true,"[email protected]","[email protected]","","This is the subject","This is the body of the mail.");
I noticed that when executing this script, Acrobat opened the Outlook Global Address List to verify the e-mail accounts; which is great.
Now, I'd like to know if there is a command that does this:
1. (before opening Outlook new message window) Open a window asking for the recipient e-mail address.. with the possibility to get it from the Outlook Global Address Book
2. Open a second window asking the same as above but putting the e-mail address in the "CC" field.
2. Finally, the New Message window appears with the "to", "cc", "subject" and "body" fields filled.
I'd really appreciate your help.
Also.... is there any other command to get date and hour in a variable?
Thanks :)Hey Cristian,
I'm interested in your link script. How do you use it? In what program are you and where do you put the actual script?
Thanks, -
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?
Thanksmail 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.

Global Address List Not Updating in Outlook
I have a question from user about Global Address Not updating in Outlook. We have a user whom name was changed, how ever his new name didn't appeared on Global Address List in Outlook client
I did explained to him that Outlook require about 48 hours to reflect a new update Global Address List then he asked me why previously (24 hours) his old name also disappear from Global Address List.
Could you please advice.Hi,
Please check whether the new name is updated in Global Address List when the user accesses his mailbox from OWA and Outlook Online mode.
If the new name is also not changed in GAL for OWA, please refer to bawzman's suggestion to run cmdlets to update globel address list in Exchange server.
If the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, the issue should be related to Offline Address Book which is used for Cached mode as Globle Address List. We can manually download it and update the address list by clicking Send/Receive > Send/Receive
Groups > Download Address Book to have a try.

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.

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

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.... -
Connecting to Outlook Global Address List
I have an application which needs to email the contents of a record to one or more people in our Outlook Global Address List. I would like to present the user with the GAL so he/she may pick the recipient. Anybody done this?
Tyler,
Since having read about your implementation, I've built an AD package with many functions that are very useful in ApEx. I was previously unaware of pipelined functions - I thank you for that.
As for the 1000 limit... This is something that you'll run into in a large company. For example, if the filter used was on samAccountName, and the user just types "a" well chances are that there are many people that have a name with an "a" in it. I don't necessarily want to display that many results, but when a filter doesn't limit the result set down that's just what you get.
You are correct that the 1000 result limit is a setting on the LDAP server, but VBScript has the ability to set a "page size". This allows the code to work past the limit without issue. I'm not sure if we have that in DBMS_LDAP.

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,

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.

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,

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:

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

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.
