Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the default Email Type from Ex to SMTP? I wanted to make it easier for users to lookup a colleague's email address. I know you can open the user card and select the Email Addresses tab to find this out, but I would prefer it if they could find it on the main list. I mean lets be honest, who is going to find the x.400 address useful? TIA, Jarryd |

How would be a question for microsoft.public.exhange.admin -- Brian Tillman |

You would need to upgrade to Outlook 2007 + Exchange 2007 when they are released. Earlier versions cannot do what you want.

Hi Sue,
Is there anything to what Brian is saying. I have my GAL set up in the normal way. I suppose I could rewrite the LDAP query to try and pick up SMTP (if that is even possible), but I don't see how that is going to help. TIA, Jarryd "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

You could connect to the GAL as an LDAP address book, but I suspect that would only confuse the users.

When I open any item in the GAL and select the E-mail Addresses tab, I see not only the X.400 address but the Internet addresses our Exchange Admins added as aliases. You're correct though, that if you do not open the item and just examine the address book listing, that the type is EX and the address is the X.400 address. If you can't open the item, then my suggestion is worthless. -- Brian Tillman |

Hi Brian,
I think you have missed what I am tyring to achieve. As I said in the first post in this thread I don't want users to have to open the item card. It makes more sense to be able to configure the fields in the main list to display the type (i.e. email type) of data you want to display. Anyways, I believe I have my answer: Exchange / Outlook 2007!! Thanks for your input everyone. Jarryd "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ... Jarryd wrote: Is there anything to what Brian is saying.
