Hello,

We've created a Contact list in the Public Folders on
our Exchange 2000 server from Outlook 2000. Most users
have either Outlook 2000 or Outlook XP. The users would
like the new Public Folder Address Book (called Rep
Contacts) to appear when they hit the 'TO' button (to
bring up the address books) in a new email. Currently
when they hit the 'TO' button it brings up the Global
Address List, which is fine, and then they hit the drop
down and select the address list they want to use. In
order for me to add the new Public Folder called Rep
Contacts into that drop down I have to manually visit
each machine, open the Public Folders, select Rep
Contacts, go into Properties, and check the box that
says "Show this folder as an email address book.".
That's a lot of work for 74 employees.

Is there a way to automate this process? Or would it
be easiest to put together an instruction sheet and email
that to everyone explaining how to do it on their own?

Thanks!
Tom
 
In Outlook 2002, you can write a script to do this, but there is no similar
solution for Outlook 2000.
