Centralized contacts

[Charles Mortenson]

We have Exchange server 2003 with 70 users running Outlook 2003 and not one
of them have shared their contacts. My mission is to figure out a way to put
them all in one database and make them accessible to most everyone in the
company. I¹ve done the usual google searches and haven¹t seen any solutions
other than Dynamics 3.0 which is way overkill for this project.

I am very surprised that this isn't a simple procedure, almost as if
Exchange isn't designed to be used this way. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi Charles,

you could create a "Public Contact Folder" in your Exchange.

Have a look on this sites:

Using Public Folders to Hold Company Contacts:

"Public Folder and other mailbox Contacts folders in the Outlook Address
Book"

Maybe it helps.
