Not likely to have any admin tools for Win9x products.  That's not to
say there aren't as I haven't looked into it.  I left Windows 95 and 98
where they belong....  In 1995 and 1998.

Subject: Global Address Book Administration from Win9x - Exchange 2000


We have a single server Exchange 2000 server.  I'm looking for advice on
how to allow users to add/remove/modify addresses in the Global Address
Book. There are only about 10 users on the server, but we have hundreds
of external (SMTP, FAX, etc) addresses that they need to ability to
maintain. We also need the ability to add/remove/modify distribution
lists.

We are running Windows 95/98 on their desktops, it is a small office and
we don't have plans to put Windows 2000/XP on their desktops.  I'm not
aware of an Active Directory administration tool for Windows 95/98 (if
there is one, that would make this easy).  I was hoping we could just
use the Outlook client to create/modify addresses/distribution lists,
but that doesn't appear to be an option with the GAL.

Right now we have a 'mish-mash' of address books: Personal Address
Books, Individual Outlook Contact Folders, Shared Contact Folders
(public folders) and the Global Address List.  When addressing messages
we have to choose from one of the five places where addressess are
stored.  We would like to have all addresses maintained in the Global
Address List, but then we need a way to administer it from our desk
without too much work (and without having Windows 2000 Pro on our
desktops).

Any pointers would be great.
