By default you can connect to any AD controller via an LDAP client
without any additional configuration on the AD box. I'm not much of an
exchange guru, but it sounds like you would probably have to write a
script to export the AD information in to a format that can be imported
into outlook. Here's a page that tells you the CSV format that OE
requires...http://www.mindspring.com/~oe_oh/importing_address_books.htm.
I would test this csv import manually before attempting a script to
figure out if the results will be as expected. First I'd open notepad
and create 3-4 test users in the csv format. Then try importing it. If
the results are as you expected, then you simply need to extract the
name, email, etc. info from AD. This is simple using ADSI.
After doing this manual test above, let me know if you would like me to
post a sample script.

Are there any How To's - is there anything I need to do on the AD
server?
Sorry for asking to many questions - I think I am making this harder
than
it is, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks
