Implied in that, but perhaps not obvious: only one person at a time can access a PAB, or perhaps I should say, only one machine. Once the PAB is in use by anyone machine, it's inaccessible from any others. It's not accessible from OWA.
A Contacts folder, on the other hand, can be accessed by any number of users, making it a sharable resource. And, it is accessible from OWA.

If the machine's hard drive dies, so does the PAB. That also means they are accessible to the client only when logging on to that particular machine. Contacts are stored in the Exchange database, and are so backed up as part of the mailbox, and are available no matter what machine the user logs onto.

I am sure this issue has been discussed somewhere before, however I must have missed a recent debate! Is there a discussion on whether end users should use PAB's or Contacts? I have heard from a few people that Contacts are the way we should go... Your thoughts? Thank you! Bob P.
