OpenLDAP is not hard to setup, and configuring Outlook to use it is fairly simple. The problem is that Outlook does not have a dialog that lists all the LDAP entries, allowing the user to scroll through the list and pick names as desired. Outlook can use and LDAP directory for auto-completion, name resolution, and searching, but it cannot display a scrollable/browseable list. >Also, if anyone has a way of making the Global Address Book that they >are using currently, or know of, I'd be grateful. You can download the Exchange GAL and use it to create an LDIF input file for your LDAP server.
