Outlook Contacts Missing for Citrix Clients

Hello,

We run Outlook in our Citrix farm and for some odd reason
all users are getting a contacts list other than their own.

When they choose a new message and click to, the whole
contacts folder displays a short list of Internet based
addresses but NOT the user's own contacts. I guess the
contacts beign shown are the locally based ones for the
intial setup of Outlook but I can't tell for sure.

Here is our OUTLOOK.PRF file contents:

They can't be seeing the Contacts folder because the .prf omits the Outlook
Address Book service, which is the one that exposes the user's Contacts
folder (and all other contact folders) in the address book.

Just curious: Why did you include the Personal Address Book? That hasn't
been widely used since Outlook 98. And why Personal Folders? That seems
unnecessary in a Citrix+Exchange environment.
