Exchange GAL to Local COntacts Folder Export Script

[jennec]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange Hi,

I wonder if anyone has created an AppleScript that exports a copy of the GAL to a local Contacts folder in Entourage 2008?

I can do this manually, but finding all contacts in the GAL using an Advanced search and copying them manually to a folder. But our CEO would like this automated and I am unfamiliar with scripting techniques in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I have spent approx. 4 hours trying to find out if this is possible with very little results.

Can anyone help at all?

An option to explore is to see if your Exchange hosting company can provide you with a contact analytic composed of all users contacts for that one users mailbox. Since you stated this is the GAL, you should be able to request a GAL analytic form your hosting company. I would suggest you contact your hosting company.

The typical format would be in a .CSV format.

Hope this information was found helpful.

There is no hosting company. Internal Exchange server, with a non techie mac user who is the CEO of the company. So I need to provide an automated or one click solution for him.
