Hi Paul, I'm afraid that that is not the case here, i'm not upgrading from an older version of exchange. We're upgrading from a unix imap senario to an exchange 2003. The biggest problem is that my exchange knowledge is very low, i used to mess around with exchange 5.5 and have never worked with exchange 2000 or 2003 before. The contactlist is generated by our AD controller. The odd thing is that the contactlist also contains former employees which accounts have been long erased from the AD controller. So in short the problems are : 1. properties of the generated contactlist (generated by the AD controller) cannot be viewed by dutch outlook clients. 2. former employees which accounts don't exsist on the AD controller are listed in the contacts.
