I already own 2007 due to my licensing agreement. Is this feature in 2007?

It pulls from AD to reduce the hammering your GC may otherwise take. Contacts will be local to the account in LCS2005sp1 and not managed centrally which was something we found extremely annoying. We looked at customizing people's contact list but decided against it in the end. There are some tools in the LCS Resource Kit to help with migrating from Exchange IM to LCS, it may have a tool to help you with pre-populating contacts for people. The LCS Resource Kit is annoying in that you install it and there is no start menu items added. You have to browse to the install directory to find/use anything. I don't have much, but have written three posts with links you may find useful later. http://www.blkmtn.org/taxonomy/term/28 Other random links White Paper form Microsoft where they mention in passing using custom scripts to pre-populate contacts list. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=61e90c28-3840-4 c89-9b19-2814a6a62aaf&DisplayLang=en I hope you get to migrate to OCS2007 sooner then later, but then, that is my hope as well.
