Edit Contact Problem
In 03, when I go to edit a contact that was originally populated from the AD
GAB, it will not keep the chanegs I make to it when I hit the Save and Close button. No matter what I do, the contact info always reverts back to what it was originally populated with. I have deleted the whole contact and tried re-adding it new, I have tried adding it new all together, I have tried editing it. So what is keeping this information stuck in there somewhere? Lisa

Sounds like it's refreshing its data from the GAL entry, which would be expected behavior.

You mean you want to replace the Exchange address with an external address with an ISP, such as ?

OH MY Goodness, yes Sue! you hit the nail on the head. We have to add it to
AD? Right? it will alwyas pull the internal employee address cause that is how it is linked. We would have to manually change it onthe server side. Thanks for triggering that little piece of info. Sometimes I just need a little kick start.

Actually it's not that simple. Any user that's in AD is going to have the X.400 internal address associated with it. Maybe you should back up and tell us *why* you're trying to do something like this.

You know, I have no idea why the customer I am working with wants to do this
but, I can escalate this ticket to another team because I do not have rights to make any kind of AD changes anyway. Thanks again Sue. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Actually it's not that simple.

My point is that, depending on what they're actually trying to accomplish, messing around with AD may be the absolutely wrong approach. It certainly would be if they're trying to set up SMTP addresses for internal users so that they can be synched to a PDA. That's why it's critical to find out what the real business goal is, not just what technique they want to play with.
