Outlook - Global Address Book

Hi all NewB here. I tried searching for this but couldn't find it. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Question: Is there any to upload my outlook address book to my blackberry without using active sync or any other 3rd party software?
Problem: I work in a facility that doesn't allow any 3rd party software to be installed.
I can send and receive email from my blackberry. I've set it up using our Web Access site through my T-Mobile account. I was looking for a way to upload a csv file or the like so I could have my work Global Address Book book on my BB?
Thanks a million,
SSD

I don't understand. Why would the desktop manager be considered 3rd party? It's part of Blackberry.
Only work around I could think of is syncing your outlook at work with outlook at home, then use the desktop manager at home to sync.
ETA: Or you could download the csv. file to a gmail account and sync your blackberry with google mobile applications. They just added the contact sync not too long ago.

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,

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

Issue where Global Address book cannot be searched on IPhone6

Good Morning,
Our CEO has been having a recurring problem where he is not able to search our Global Address book on his IPhone6. Last time he had the issue, they made some sort of setting change on his phone and it worked. Now it is not working again, but
they want to rule out an Exchange\Active Sync problem.
His Exchange account is setup on his IPhone (which is company issued).
Composes a new email. He types in the first few letters of the last name and it should bring up all possible matches from our Address book. This is not happening. If it is someone he has emailed prior, the autofill will bring up their name.
I have a company issued Android phone and I have not had the issue.
Looked in the ECP and his phone is listed and is synching as it should. Is there anything as an Exchange admin that I can look at to determine what can be the problem. My personal feeling is that this is something that was changed on his device, but
being he is the CEO, we must do our due dilligence.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Hi Brain,
Do you have more users reporting the same issue in your company, i am suspecting a client issue until you see more ppl are coming back and reply, could you review the article below?
http://contact-outlook.itrezzo.com/2014/05/Global-Address-List-iPhone-Search-vs-Sync.html
or you want to post the question in the 'Apple' - support forum.
My target would be to check on the client then on server to start with.

How to get Contact Information to Appear on Global Address Book

Greetings,
We are using Exchange 2007 and Office 2010 and 2013 throughout our company. When I enter information in a to User Profile either on our AD or Exchange Management Console such as Phone Extension or Fax Number, that information does not appear in the
Global Address Book. I see no radio buttons, check boxes, or any thing else to use that would indicate the information appears for other end-users seeking addition contact info. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

If this is a highly available deployment of 2007 utilizing CCR, you'll need to ensure that your OAB generation cluster has the correct server (the current quorum owner) set as the distribution point in the registry.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd285503(v=exchg.80).aspx
If not, try running the following PowerShell command and check the GAL (from OWA or with non-cached Outlook) for the updates:
Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList
Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook

Global Address book update issues

Hi, we have cached mode disabled by group policy. Some users are not seeing newly created users in the global address book. Other people can see them fine. I have seen many things relating to offline address book syncing but not much about it when you are
not using offline address books.
I can see the new users using OWA so I know the global address book is right. My confusion comes in when I try to figure out where the problem might lie. Why might one person see the new users but others cannot?
Is there only one area where all users go to access the online global address book or are they somehow spread across global catalog servers? We have 2010 sp2 servers.
Please help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
Since all users are in online mode and the issue only happens to some specific users, we need to check the following points to narrow down the issue:
1. Check whether the problematic users can view the new users in OWA.
2. Confirm there is no custom
address book policy in exchange server to customize views of their organization’s GAL.
3. Select the Send/Receive tab on the Ribbon. Click Send/Receive Groups and then click
Download Address Book.
4. Run problematic users’ Outlook in safe mode to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

Updating Global Address Book

Hello,
I've been tasked with updating the global address list with all of the contact information from a previous version of software my business had been using. Our server type is MAPI and I saw on here the use of a CSV file but I was wondering if there
was an easier and more efficient way of adding contacts to the global address book. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the email address for this contact is another domain, we can create Mail Contact or Mail User for this external users based on the CSV file. Then the Default Global Address List would be updated and add the new contacts in the GAL.
To achieve it, we can do:
1. Create mail contacts:
Import-CSV "C:\Contacts.CSV" | ForEach-Object {New-MailContact -Name $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.EmailAddress -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $False}
2. Check whether the contacts are created complete in Exchange:
Get-MailContact
3. Update the default GAL:
Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Default Global Address List"
Then check whether the created contact is shown in Address Book in Outlook Online mode. For Cached mode, please update the Offline Address Book and wait for the update in Outlook client:
Get-offlineaddressbook | Update-offlineaddressbook

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks
Regis

I can't import contacts from Outlook to Address Book

I've tried to do the research before asking this question, but I can't get this to work. How do you import contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Address book? When I try to export from Outlook, the only option I have is .csv file, it doesn't give me an option to export as a vcard. I've exported to a .csv file and tried importing this into Address Book as a text file, and it opens up a window called Text File Import. When I click OK nothing happens. I'm new to the Mac world so I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One way if you are still accessing an email account with Outlook is the following:
In Contacts, click the contact you want to send as a vCard or select all to send all, and then on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard.
All contacts will be added to a new message created as separate vCard attachments. Send the message to an email account you are accessing with the Mail.app on the Mac.
Create a folder on the Mac desktop or in your location of choice and save all vCard attachments received via email to this folder.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder that contains the vCard files sent from Outlook.

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.

Dan

Importing Windows Outlook Express address book

Hello
I have been trying to import an Outlook Express address book (which is stored on a DVD) to MS Entourage with not much luck
I can't seem to find an 'option' to import an external address book.
The only options available seem to be to import Entourage docs/archives etc.
Can anyone help?

I've been looking into this myself and there are a number of possibilities. You can't just import an address book but importing all your contacts can be done. Search discussions here for the topic (the Mail and Address Book forum has stuff on getting contacts out of Outlook) and also Google the web, there are several threads elsewhere. There are even shareware utilities to help.
Also look under Mac 101: Shifting From PC in the Support section here. Apple has a little bit to say on it, although not terribly helpful to me.

Not directly; OE is not supported by iTunes. You need full Outlook. Address Book in later versions of Windows is supported.

How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

Transfering Outlook Express Address Book to OS X mail

Hi Folks,
Have finally made the leap from OS 9 to OS X.
That was the easy part.
Now, how to successfully tranfer my 700+items Outlook Express Address Book into OS X mail? I'm about at my wits end. I've thus far managed to transfer the lot of them into Microsoft 'entourage' X. Whew! I still can't figure out how to transfer them into the OS X email program. I need access to those names/email addresses ASAP. It's vital to my work. Help!
Thanks much in advance.
Namaskara,
David M.

I'm a newbie, but I think this may work:
Since Mail uses the addresses stored in Mac's Address Book app, open AB. Go to File/Import and select LDIF as the type of file you wish to import. Locate and click on the OE address book filename in the window that appears. It is most probably located in the Documents folder. Highlight the filename and click Open. The contents of this file will now appear in AB, and will then be accessible from Mail.
Let us know if it works.
