I would assume you could use global contacts. As for the book...here are a few good ideas. Grab a book to help you study for 70-284, it will help you immensely to pick up the basics of exchange. You may even want to just go ahead and sit the exam. It isn't all that hard if you spend some time studying as well as some hands on stuff Also, take a look at Exchange Server Cookbook - it is an O'Reilly - I am really liking it so far as a reference Devin -----Original Message----- From: Knutsen, Vicki [mailto:vickik@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 8:26 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Two Questions http://www.MSExchange.org/ 1) Does anyone out there use Exchange 2003 as a contact database - if so, would you email me off list to talk about how this works? 2) What is the best book you have read regarding administration of Exchange 2003 - what would you recommend for someone that wants to learn it well and get really good tips.
