Hello,I want to Import External Contacts into GAL for users to send mail to these contacts and able search them in global Address book but I do not want to create a user account for these contacts...! I'm running Exchange 2003.I appreciate any help...!ThanksRao

Two ways of doing this.1. Import the contacts locally on the outlook profiles.2. Create contacts on the AD (dont need to create domain users).Depends what exactly your requirements are .. If every body is going to use them, create it in AD or else import locally on the Outlook profiles.Raj
