LDAP

[david.nevill]

Dear All,

Having recently updated an ICQ program .. I now find this message popping up
every time I open Outlook :

" Can't contact LDAP Directory Server ( 81 ) " On clicking OK it disappears
and Outlook runs as normal.

I have looked up info about this LDAP Directory Server on Microsoft's Site
and in my Outlook Help files .. but although I am fairly computer literate
... I must admit to not understanding it.

Can anyone tell me what exactly it is, in layman's language please .. plus
if it is necessary to be able to have this contact .. if so .. how to
program my system to contact this LDAP Directory Server .. and what will it
give me if I do ?

Or alternatively, how to disable Outlook from looking for this connection,
if it is not necessary or possible.

Thank you in advance

David

You can remove the LDAP address book provider via Tools | E-mail accounts |
view/change address books. More or less the import routine brought in a
definition from the Windows Address Book to query Active Directory and will
be of no use to you.
