It is up to the Exchange administrator to create a distribution list in the GAL. That's not an Outlook function.

Have you checked to see whether your contacts folder is being used for name resolution? Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options.

Hi,

I don't know if there is a problem with my outlook. Howver if I create a
Distribution list, it does not appear in my Global Address List. If I create
a new email and put the distribution list name in To field it does not
recognise it even though the distribution appears in Contacts.

Any help would be appreciated.
