What client are you using, Outlook or Outlook Express ? By default OE adds the Active Directory services to the directory list. You can do a search for a specific name or email address in the Active directory, but no way to list it as an address book. LDAP is primarily a search based directory. This is the same limitation when using OWA in Exchange, you can only search the GAL but not browse it. If your client is configured to use Active Directory as a search directory, every time the user sends a new email, the user IDs will be resolved against the Active directory automatically. I am not sure if there is an easy way to browse the GAL as you would in Exchange environment.
