you'll need to copy the contacts to the default folders to sync them.

We are a small office running SBS 2003 and are now trying Outlook 2007 on
a
few machines. We share contacts using shared folders in Exchange and
keep
local copies current when offline using favourites. But we also want
copies
of the shared contacts on Microsoft Moble 5 phones. Activesync
automatically
syncs with the default contacts folder but we can't find any way of
keeping
that folder up to date with the shared contacts folder or the favourites
contact folder.
