Setting GAL as default in Outlook

Hi
We would like to set the default addressbook in Outlook to GAL
We are running Office365 Pro in cached mode.
We do not want to change to online mode
We are running ActiveDirectory and would like to use GPO
We can only find a GPO setting to set use GAL to lookup shortnames.
Any help is apreciated.

Take a look at this post. They seem to have resolved it via a registry setting deployed via GPO.

  • Set iCloud as default in outlook 2013

    Hi,
    I like to set iCloud as default in outlook 2013 (Windows 8.1 x64)
    The big issues are the contacts and appointments.
    How can I use those as default?
    Is there an upgrade of iCloud software being developed, or is there a workaround I can use instead?
    With best regards,
    g

    Unfortunately, you can't set iCloud as your default.  You can, however, change the default address book in Outlook to access your iCloud contact list when addressing email, as explained here: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/262.

  • Setting Out Of Office from Outlook not working with exchange 2010

    Hi 
    We have an exchange 2010  server with 2 load balanced CAS server and Mailbox servers in a DAG.  We have a few domain
    names accepted (will call it firstdomain.com and seconddomain.com)  but only one is in certificate (firstdomain.com).
    The issue is - when user with default email @seconddomain.com try to set “Out Of Office” from outlook (2010 with all service
    packs and updates) he is getting “ Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later”  where
    setting it from webmail works fine and setting it from outlook for users with @firstdomain.com reply address works fine.
    we have both internal and external urls for all virtual directories set to external
    host address (https://mail.firstdomain.com
      etc). All the users are on intranet with local ip subnets (sites connected via vpns ), all the routing is in place and DNS points to correct ip addresses.
    Autodiscover works fine (tested in outlook ) and giving correct address for OOF link
    ( https://mail.firstdomain.com/ews/exchange.asmx)
    wich opens fine if entered into address bar in IE so its NOT AN AUTODISCOVER issue .
    I enabled  logging in outlook and thats what I am getting in there:

    Last thing - we are using proxy server and with proxy off it works fine although all
    possible exchange server hosts/domains/ip addresses excluded from proxy.  
    Aside from obvious question - what can be wrong and what to test next, another question
    is - how can I check/monitor setting OOF on server side (log files etc)?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that Outlook client with second domain name cannot use OOF setting and get an error “Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable.”  However OWA works fine.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    I want to double confirm whether all account or some special user experience this question.
    Would you please try to reconfigure Outlook profile in other Computer, Outlook version and return the results?
    If this issue only appeared on Outlook 2010, please refer to below link to troubleshooting:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596516?wa=wsignin1.0
    Please try to run ExBPA to test OOF to get more details about this question. Additional, I find a similar thread about your question, for your reference:

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

    How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

    Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function.  Contact your carrier to see if they have this option.  If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name.  Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

    Save or modify one of the presets here on Mac (windows similar location):

  • After uninstalling nightly, I can no longer set firefox as default browser for email links and they no longer open.

    When I try to change the default firefox protocols in windows, only the nightly shows and I can not unclick it. When I attempt to click on a link in an email (Windows Live) I get "Class not registered"
    I presently have IE set as my default because it is the only possible way to open email links.

    You can install both win32 and win64 Firefox Nightly builds on a 64-bit Windows computer. As you should know, all Firefox nightly builds are intended for testing only. If you downloaded your Firefox nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ then you got the win32 installer. (win64 installers are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ and possibly elsewhere: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12694481#p12694481 ref.])
    Anyway, the bug report I referred to earlier ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870312 Bug 870312] - Installing Nightly causes "Class not registered" error on click on link in other apps after uninstall) fits your issue ("broken" uninstaller). It was triaged as a "Shell Integration" Firefox bug for x86_64 Windows 8.
    Whether you had the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox nightly installed, you can try reinstalling a more recent build of that, and then uninstall it again. That worked for a Windows user who had problems uninstalling Firefox Nightly x64 as reported in this thread:
    *http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2473175
    If that doesn't work, also try reinstalling Firefox 25, to see if that helps matters.
    I'm not the best person to help you, though, since I'm not testing Firefox nightly on my Win7 x64 computer. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you better, or you could try on the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum (it's linked from the nightly.mozilla.org page).

  • HOW TO SET A ITEM DEFAULT VALUE  to today

    HTMLDB failed recongnize the default value, or throw error Error ERR-9132 Error in PLSQL expression for item default code, ...". I have tried each of 3 avaialable Default Value Types
    Per http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=443287, it is used to be doable, but the default value type (sql) is no longer avaialble in HTMLDB 2.0
    I would appreaciate it very much if anyone has successfully done this before, either set to today or current month

    Ching - Did you try a PL/SQL Expression using to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')?
    There have been no changes to the item default types available in HTML DB. The thread you referenced is for Oracle Portal, a separate and unrelated product.

    Hello Sameer,
    When you are calling "RemoveCustomMasterPage" function?
    Also make below change in web.config file your web application to know the problem:
    1. Open up your sites web.config, and make the standard custom errors edit. You want it to be < customerrors mode="Off"/>
    2. Then, search for the CallStack="false" and change it to CallStack="true", you should find this in the "<safemode>" node.
    3. Find:   <compilation debug="false" />, Replace with: <compilation debug="true" />

  • Set InDesign -- by default -- not to make hyperlinks Shared Destinations?

    I have a newsletter template in ID CS4 based on a template with some standing hyperlinks to my organization's web pages.
    Recently, when I created a new file based on the template, my computer started bogging down looking NOT for the web page in the hyperlink, but in the copy of the InDesign file that created it. Checked the properties in Hyperlink Options, and instead of URL, the links went to a Shared Destination (a copy of the document on a shared drive, not an Internet server).  Changed the properties to link them to URLs instead, but when I opened the document again, they went back to Shared Destinations. How can I set InDesign -- by default -- not to hook hyperlinks up to Shared Destinations?  (My agency was ready to upgrade me to CS6 until it became available in the Cloud only).
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSB152EA6F-30D9-417c-9E16-A2C492C04892.html
    Note: If a URL hyperlink isn’t working in the exported PDF, there may be a problem with the hyperlink being a “Shared Destination.” Double-click the hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel, choose URL from the Link To menu, deselect Shared Hyperlink Destination, and click OK
    But I wan to make NOT sharing hyperlinks the default

    Given the bug with shared hyperlinks (see https://forums.adobe.com/message/6408902#6408902), I too would like to turn off shared hyperlink destination as the default. Anyone found a way to do this?

  • Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

    Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

    What version of Windows and Office is it? I had this issue with an older version of office and Windows XP. Basically, MS are using their browser (IE) because it's their software (MS Office). If you go to options in MS word though, you should be able to find an option to set the default browser to open links.

  • How can I set the DEFAULT setting on an effect to be MY default setting, not Garagebands default setting?

    Hey
    I usually use the same settings of reverb for most vocals I record (Just a small amount) and I have this saved as a setting, but is there anyway to make MY setting be the default setting whenever I add reverb and not be Garagebands default reverb setting?
    This is so i dont have to go and select my setting each time?
    I hope this makes sense.
    thanks

    This is more for mixing after all recording has been done. I generally record vocals with no effects on at all apart from a small amount of compression as its easier to hear errors in takes then. Currently its quicker than Cmd+D and copy/pasting into it. But still not as "Fast" as I would like by being able to choose myself what I always want as the default setting.
