I am working on a small project for the company I work for where I need to sync up the Outlook contacts list with Sharepoint to provide an online searchable directory. I have been able to establish the connection between sharepoint and Outlook, verified by adding contacts on both ends, but have run into a small problem. The contacts list for our company is contained within a list called "Global Address List". When I establish the connection, it only syncs up with my machine's contacts, which do not contain the full company directory list on the Global Address List. Moreover, when I go to the Contacts page of Outlook, the Global Address List doesn't appear there - I can only access it when responding/creating emails through outlook's address lookup dialog box. Anyways, is there a way to edit the synchronization configuration so that I can pull the contact list from the Global Address List instead of my local contacts list? Thanks!

What version of SharePoint are you using? -Ivan Ivan Sanders My LinkedIn Profile, My Blog, @iasanders. I havent been able to find the specific version number, but I know for a fact we are running Sharepoint 2007 as an aside, I did more digging around when I had the chance to and found that the "Global Address List" is one that is stored on our network Microsoft Exchange server address book. Havent been able to find anything to help me knowing that, so to search continues.

As requested, here are the version numbers for our test environment and the published environment: Published: version is 12.0.0.6421 Test: version is 12.0.0.6421

Bumping this back up... I haven't been able to find anything through searching google or bing. I know this has to be possible since I found an article for synchronizing users on server 2003 to sharepoint 2010.

Ivan, thanks for the reply. Perhaps I am missing something or I am not understanding you correctly. Ill keep looking into the links you posted, but it seems like the information isn't *exactly* what I need. I am particularly looking for a way just to update sharepoint's contact list from the windows server 2003 active directory list (including all the other info we store there) either daily, weekly, or some other kind of interval. This list would then be linked to a specialized search page on Sharepoint to allow employees to search there to find contact information for any employee. If that is what you posted, Im sorry I didn't understand. I am just not sure if what you posted was exactly what I am looking for. Thanks in advance. ~Tony
