How do i change Outlook to not pull the info from AD. We are running Exchange
2003 in a clustered environment and Outlook 2002 and 2003. 2002 systems work
fine but when we switch to Outlook 2003 some of them are resolving the
information from GAL and not from your contacts where you point it to.
 
The only way I know to prevent that from happening is to save the vCard as a .vcf file and manually edit it with Notepad to remove any AD information you don't want to "leak."

I've seen the same behavior in earlier versions, too, not just in Outlook 2003, and consider it a significant privacy breach.

Ok just tried another way and it worked now. If you go into the correct
contact and "Export" not save it to a VCF file you can drop it to the correct
location and it does not resolve to AD with picking that one. Then you can go
in and assign to attach with your signature.
 
Could you explain what you mean by export in the context of a single item?
