When i fire off my Oulook 2003 and manually create my
profile to connect to our exchange server i get to see my
GAL and my outlook address book with my contacts folder
when i go to create a new message and click TO: to look
at my contacts.

When i start outlook 2003 using my PRF file it auto
creates the profile and connects me to the server but for
some reason i can only see my GAL and not my outlook
address book or contacts when creating a new message.

I have found this line in my PRF file under MSMail

DisplayGalOnly=PT_BOOLEAN,0x6625

Im not sure if this is related but the docs say if it is
set to true you can only see the GAL. WHere do i set this
to TRUE or FALSE? I dont see i spot unless the 0x6625
means true. What is the value for false? I have searched
high and low for line by line prf stuff but nothing on
this problems came up.

IM looking to get the profile to auto setup and have them
view both the GAL and the outlook address book.

There is one more entry that has my curiousity as well.

[Outlook Address Book]
ServiceName=CONTAB

Not sure if this value has to do if it is viewable or
not. This value may not even be relate.

Does anyone know how to get it to show the address books?

Thanks

In your PRF confirm that in the Services section you have
an entry like...

Service3=Outlook Address Book

You should have a Service3 section like...

[Service3]
Ben=TRUE
; -- Dummy property. Do not delete or modify.

There should also be an Outlook Address Book section,
like...

[Outlook Address Book]
ServiceName=CONTAB
Ben=PT_STRING8,0x6700
; -- Dummy property. Do not modify.

Hope that helps. I found if the OAB service is not
installed because the PRF is interrupted by prompting the
user to select which mailbox matches their account, you
have to install the service later...

Indications: The user will not find their Contacts listed
at the end of the Global Address List when they perform a
look-up.

Problem (I think): The PRF is interrupted when Exchange
is unable to match a mailbox and the Outlook Address Book
service is skipped.

Resolution Options:

1. Have the user enter their full name in the Outlook
profile creation script instead of their logon name.
(OGLESBEE Victoria, Oglesbee Victoria, or Victoria
Oglesbee are all acceptable, but results may vary
depending on how the Exchange server interprets their name
to match a mailbox.)

2. The user will need to add the Outlook Address Book
service after the profile is created (or once the problem
has been identified). Refer to...
