When you configure a new address book for Outlook, it is displayed by the
name you gave it.  It is not going to be under the contacts address book
which is a special folder in your mail store.  I think there is an
expectation that you would be able to click on the contacts folder and it
would be populated, but this is not the case.  If that's what you want, then
you either need to write custom code to redirect that folder (not likely)
else import the contacts into that folder.  The normal behavior however is
to have it searchable from the address book dialog box.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Outlook and Contact List 

Hello List!

I guess this is a Outlook issue i need to solve.

I have set up my LDAP Address book.
I can search the contacts fine in Outlook v9.0 It auto completes the names
when i compose a mail.

However, when i click onto contacts in the left menu, i get nothing.
My network tools show me that there is not traffic or query from the outlook
client to the ldap server.How do i set up Outlook that it will display my
adress book in contacts, too?
My Search Query is: "ou=workers,dc=example.domain,dc=com"

How can i tell outlook to use the LDAP Address book rather than the local
one?
Thanks a lot. Mario
