Re: Active Directory Fails as LDAP Address Book

In news:eidnSR9wGHA.3936@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Joe Richards [MVP] <humorexpress@xxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on
below:
I took a peek at this and just selecting the AD addressbook outlook
immeidately comes up and says You cannot create entries for this
Address Book. It never even contacts the directory. It would appear
this is a limitation in Outlook.

I thought it may have been a limitation with AD or whether it looks at it as
an anonymous connection (even though you are specifying credentials)?

A similar method is used with Entourage (Outlook 2004 for Macs) in grabbing
the GAL (Microsoft Entourage is an web http based email client and uses LDAP
directories). But the biggest difference is that there is a specific option
for an LDAP directory as well as one specifically for AD (as long as the Mac
workstation is bound to AD using the AD utilities on it). However, I'm not
sure how Entourage differentiates LDAP and AD. But I can't remember if they
are able to update it, since I beleive it is actually pulling it from the
GC, that is if I remember right, we've specified 3268 as the port, but would
have to double check that, if anyone is interested.
