In my experiece MS Exchange support for IMAP is very poor, even when
using MS Outlook. (Especially when using MS Outlook?)

I don't think it will work, but it really depends on how the address
books are stored; it's been a few years since I had to fight with MS
Exchange.
If you are Active Directory integrated, you may be able to use the
directory as if it was an LDAP server ('cause it kinda is) and pull
data out of it that way.
But you should take this to an MS Exchange list.
