Shawn, This was due to the Outlook/Simple MAPI/CDO security patch introduced by microsoft when email script viruses would spread themselves by reading the outlook address book.
You have two options, either use CDO via interop on an Exchange Server machine to read the address book (this will come up with the same message if you run it on a normal outlook machine) Or you can use Extended MAPI to do it as we do in our product (bear in mind that this is quite complicated and I've never tried calling it from a managed environment) - this will work in both a server and workstation environment. For more information see MAPILogonEx(). I don't think if interop will work with this as there are no idl/tbl's to work with. Also a lot of extended mapi functions take special structures with pointers to other structures which may be a bit tricky to setup from within the CLR. Good luck!
