Hi Adam,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
According to your descritpion, I understand that you are unable to browse
the Global Address List (GAL) via OWA. If I have misunderstood your
concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
As I know, when we are using OWA to find contact of GAL, we need to perform
the following steps:
1. Open OWA and then click the Address Book icon.
2. In the Find Names - Web Page Dialog box, select Global Address List and
type in his own display name in the "Display Name" box.
3. Verify if you can find this item.
This is by design because the following reasons:
1. It can improve the performance. If you want to display the full list in
OWA, it will access the Exchange and transmit a lot of data to the client
through the internet. This will be definitely slow up the OWA performance
since you have wait for a long time until all items are listed.
2. It is also for your company¡¯s information security.
Although our Product Group has tried the best to make the OWA similar with
Outlook, OWA does still not have all features of Outlook due to the
limitation of the HTTP/HTTPS protocol. If you want to use the full
features of the Outlook even the client is in the external network, we may
configure the RPC over HTTP in Exchange Server 2003.
Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 support RPC over
HTTP in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. RPC over HTTP provides access to
your Exchange mailbox. You can use RPC over HTTP to remove the requirement
for a remote user to connect to an Exchange computer by using a virtual
private network (VPN) connection. Instead, a user who runs Outlook 2003 can
connect directly to an Exchange computer over the Internet. RPC over HTTP
permits an RPC client to establish a connection over the Internet. Outlook
2003 is an example of an RPC client. The RPC client establishes the
Internet connection by tunneling the RPC traffic through the HTTP protocol.
Typical RPC communication is not designed for use on the Internet. RPC
communication does not work reliably through a firewall that is on the
perimeter network. RPC over HTTP helps make it possible to use an RPC
client with firewalls that are on the perimeter network. If the RPC client
can make an HTTP connection to a remote computer that is running Microsoft
Internet Information Services (IIS), that RPC client can connect to any
server on the remote network. The server on the remote network must be
configured to be accessible over the Internet by using RPC over HTTP.
Additionally, the RPC client and the RPC server programs can connect across
the Internet, even if both programs are behind firewalls that are on
different networks. For more detailed information, please refer to the
following KB articles:

2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833401
841652 How to configure an RPC over HTTP topology on computers that are
running
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=841652
Hope the information help. Please let me know if anything is unclear.
Thanks again!

| I have a SBS2K3 server that I have been asked to add a lot of contacts so
| that the users can combine all their contacts into one single location.
I
| have created a public folder that works just fine from Outlook, but they
| would like to be able to access these contacts from OWA. The only
options
| I see in OWA is the GAL and the user currently logged in's personal
| contacts. I do not see an option to pick the contacts in a public
folder.
| Is there a way I can get a set of contacts available in OWA?
|
| Thanks for the help.
