Sounds good. _____ From: David Johnson [mailto:djohnson@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 4:24 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: RE: [exchangelist] RE: Custom Recipients in Exchange 2003? Ok, I think I get it now. I added a new OU to my AD called "External Contacts" and have added "contacts" to that OU that have SMTP addresses. Is this the right idea? _____ From: David Johnson [mailto:djohnson@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 6/29/2004 1:58 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: RE: [exchangelist] RE: Custom Recipients in Exchange 2003? I guess I just have to change the way I think about things having only just moved from 5.5...:) What I'm trying to avoid is having a bunch of user accounts in my domain that are able to be used. I'm still not all that familiar with AD either, so excuse me while I struggle with the concept...:) Can I add contacts to the AD without them being actuall "user" accounts? _____ From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 6/29/2004 1:54 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Custom Recipients in Exchange 2003? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Contacts is the new name. And what you were thinking is exactly how it works: add a mail-enabled contact to the Active Directory. Any particular reason you don't want to add them to the Active Directory? I mean, that IS the directory for Exchange now. _____ From: David Johnson [mailto:djohnson@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 4:53 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Custom Recipients in Exchange 2003? http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've been searching for an answer to this question all day, but to no avail... In Exchange 5.5, I used to be able to add custom recipients to my GAL for people with external addresses that I wanted globally available. Is there a way to do the same in 2003? The only thing I can think of so far is to add the username to my AD and give them an external SMTP address (which I'd rather not do). Can anyone offer suggestions?
