Hello,

we are using Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003. We have a public folder which
contains a lot of contacs. Most of these are employees, but not all of them.

Management wants a list of all employees from this folder with certain
fields (Office phone, address, title,...) that is accessible through Outlook
for every user. That was easily done with a custom view in my Outlook. But
how do I make this view accessible to ALL users in our company and
preferably define this as the standard view? I don't want to go to every
user and configure his/her Outlook.
I thought of doing it on the server side, but found nothing that would be
helpful. Does anyone have an idea how to automate this task?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas Liss
 
To force users to see a custom view when they open a public folder:

-- Create the custom view, choosing the "On this folder, visible to
everyone" option

-- On the Properties dialog for the folder, on the Administration tab,
select your view as the initial view on the folder.

-- Choose View | Current View | Define Views, and at the bottom of that
dialog, check the box for "Only show views created for this folder."
