RE: [ActiveDir] Windows Messenger Contacts

[Brian Desmond]

Dan-   You can do this programmatically with an LDAP search and that COM object in the MSDN article. As I recall, Windows Messenger has some artificial limit of like 99 people on your buddy list. If you have a GAL smaller than 99 people would not be an issue, but, if you have a few hundred, a few thousand, a few hundred thousand, etc there’s going to be a little overage <g>.   Thanks.   --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org   v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows Messenger Contacts   Is it possible to have the Windows Messenger client dynamically populate the contacts list from the Exchange GAL? Is there a way to do this manually? I saw an article on the MSDN site that says this can be done: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">, however, I am not a programmer and would not even know where to begin implementing this. We are using Windows Messenger 5.0 and Exchange 2000 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan DeStefano
