Ron, Thnaks for your reply. We are on Exchange 5.5 Here we were doing little feasibility study before starting a project on Exchange server which is about modifying(add/delete/update/view) GAL. So we want to be sure that there are some APIs to do that. But there are some more questions here. We will appriciate it very much if you can answer those. 1. Can we also add and delete addresses from GAL using ADSI? 1. Is there any other APIs then ADSI to do that? 2. Can we do it using CDO? 3 What kind of permission is required to modify GAL? 4. Can we update all the fields/attributes in GAL? If you can share your code that would be great. I appriciate all your help. Thank you very much.

Both versions can be modified programmatically, just different access points. Both use ADSI, but have slightly different calls. Exchange 5.5 objects are modified by connecting to the E5.5 directory while E2k objects are modified by connecting to Active Directory. There are various sources for code samples and documentation. http://msdn.microsoft.com (browse library tree or search for exchange or ADSI) http://cwashington.netreach.net/main/default.asp?topic=news http://www.15seconds.com/focus/ADSI.htm (also has a mail list) Hope this helps. I have some code (vbscript), depending on your needs that I'd be happy to share. I'm by no means an expert at coding/programming, but I might be able to answer some questions.
