Exchange 2003 gloabl address book

Is there a way to get activesync to import an Exchange 2003 global address book ?

It imports my contacts and syncs email fine, but none of my collegues are in my contacts, the're in the global address list.

any ideas ?

thanks

From memory I think the Exchange Server admin tool has an export feature. That's one options, export to csv and import to Outlook.

Hopefully someone else knows some better ways!

Hi Mattt,

Do you mind if I pick your brain? I would love for my X50 to sync with my exchange server. Do you mind pointing me in the right direction to set it up?

Thanks in advance.

You probably don't want everyone from the GAL in your contacts. It could be a huge list to sync, sort, and look up. Might fill up the space or it might be extremely slow to sort. I would pick the people from the GAL you normally send messages to and add them to your contacts. I think you can right click on them when they are in the to: field and "add to contacts". Don't have my exchange here, so you might have to play with that.
