Show this foler as an email address book
Like nearly all other settings related to mail profiles, this one is not configurable with the group policy editor or any registry value.

Show this foler as an email address book
Thanks for the quick reply. I just wanted to ensure that this setting was
enabled for all users without having to manually set it on each workstation or user profile or wherever it is stored. Any ideas?

THis is a per-folder setting, not a global setting. As long as the Outlook Address Book is present in the mail profile, Outlook will automatically enable that option for the use's default Contacts folder. For other folders, the user can enable it themselves (otherwise, address book clutter and chaos could potentially ensue). It can also be set programmatically with the MAPIFolder.ShowAsOutlookAB property.

Yes, you should install it as part of the mail profile, using a .prf file. THere have been some cases where the AB didn't get added to the profile even if it was in the PRF. For that scenario, you can make another .prf that users can run to just add the Outlook address book and not otherwise modify the profile.

More on this. When we send mail then select To the select names screen
appears. We want to ensure we can select our personal contacts that may be included under the outlook address book listed under "Show Names from the" drop down list.
