Re: Write Privileges For OU Contacts

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

They are dissatisfied with AD but want you to make outlook work with it? BTW, that is a heck of a lot more to manage in Outlook that way. I haven't looked too deeply in it but I expect it is more insecure as well as the userid/password combo has to be stored somewhere in the outlook profile.

Anyway, get a network trace of the creation attempt, that will probably tell you exactly what the issue is. More than likely, outlook isn't doing what you expect.

Hi,

I'm attempting to set up an Organizational Unit OU address book in an
AD2003/Outlook 2003 environment that members of the OU can add/delete
contacts.

I've got the OU set up and the Outlook 03 client working fine for
read-only.

When I attempt to add a contact to the OU contact list, Select
Names>Advanced>New> Option LDAP directory it tells me "You cannot
create entries for this address book"

I've attempted the following:

1. Delegate authority: Full Control to the group of users in the OU.
2. Create a GPO with Full Control and then adding the OU group of users
to the GPO.

Both deny creation of new contacts from the Outlook clients.

Note: Exchange is not an option. They are already dissatisfied with
AD.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
