Mike, if you are running Outlook 2003, it takes while for the OAB to get updated, and Outlook 2003 will download OAB updates only once per day by default. What you can do is, force the OAB to regen, and then wait for a while, and do an address book download from the client. See if that works. HTH.

The DL is not marked for "Hide from Address Lists", and it is mail enabled and mailbox enabled. Anything else that I should check? The DL was created earlier today (several hours ago). Any AD or GC propagation should have taken place long ago, as this is a very small AD (120 users total, one computer). Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: A.
