There really isn't anything considered to be a "shared" contact in Exchange. There are just contacts within Active Directory. You can use LDAP to retrieve these items.
Your LDAP filter should use "objectCategory=Contact". Point your LDAP browser (or CFLDAP) at one of your domain controllers. You don't need admin permissions, but you do need a domain account since you have to authenticate against AD. If you have access to Active Directory Users and Computers MMC Snap-In, I believe you can filter for all contacts, then export them to a file.

Ah, yeah csv I can't get the contacts, I've looked in the exchange administrator, all around in outlook, and I still don't understand how those are stored or how to export them. A normal users contacts are not a problem, you can export them from outlook, it's these company wide shared contacts that I can't seem to be able to export. It's a small company and while they use exchange, they do not have a network person on-site. I would have access to administrator account though if this helps provides enough user rights to get the data I need. This also is not a coldfusion project, I just need these contacts to merge with another set.
