Editing address lists in Exchange Management Console 2007
Hello All, We're using the address list " All Users ". The problem is that the information of each user is not complete. Only Name, Emailand Phone are visible at the moment. I created a file in MS Excel 2003 with all the information which is needed to enteralso Title, Department, Location and Phone 2 into the address list. I imported this file into my own Outlook 2003 and it looks fine. Now I don't want todo this for every Outlook-user butI would like to apply this into thegeneral address lists so every user canadd this manually to their own contactlist with the right mouse button and "add to my contacts"-option. Can somebody help me how to do this ? Or maybe there's another way..? Thanks in advance. Regards, Marcel

Hello Marcel, You need update the information for all users in Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox or with Set-User in Exchange 2007 environment. This user information stored in Active Directory, once it is update there it will be updated automatically in Address List and GAL and then in outlookOAB.

Hi, If you want to create an Address Book view based on an attribute other than the City , Company , Country , Department , Home Server , Site , State , Title , and Custom Attributes 1 through 10 listed above. Below steps help you to create an Address Book view for any attribute. The first step is to populate the Custom Attribute 15 attribute with the data you want to base the Address Book view on 1. Create a .csv file that includes a "Custom Attribute 15" header. You can use the Header.exe tool from the Microsoft BackOffice Resource Kit to do this or just add the header to an existing .csv file that you have used before. 2. Export the directory to this .csv file. 3. Make the changes that you want to the "Custom Attribute 15" column in the exported .csv file. You can use Microsoft Excel to do this. 4. Import the .csv file. 5. Run the Administrator program in raw mode by typing c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /r at a command prompt. 6. Check a few of the mailboxes by opening the raw properties on their mailboxes and verify that Custom Attribute 15 is populated. The next procedure explains how to change an existing Address Book view to use the Custom Attribute 15 attribute. You must first create the Address Book view in the Administrator program by using one of the fields listed above, and then change the Group By definition to Custom Attribute 15 as specified below. 1. Start the Administrator program in raw mode. 2. Create an Address Book view and choose an attribute to have it grouped by temporarily. It is advisable (but not required) that you choose an attribute that is not used or that most mailboxes do not have data in. 3. In the Administrator program, click Raw Directory on the View menu. 4. Click the Schema container in the left column. 5. Find Custom Attribute 15 in the right column, and then click once to select it. 6. On the File menu, click Raw Properties . 7. Find the Attribute-ID item, and then copy the value to the clipboard. Click Cancel to close the Properties window. 8. Click the Address Book view that you created, and then click Raw Properties on the File menu. 9. Find the Group-By-Attr-1 attribute, and then click once to select it. Paste the previously copied value into the Edit Value space, replacing the original value. 10. Click Set . The Edit Value and Attribute Value entries are now the same. 11. Click OK .
