Syncing Exchange contacts for offline usage

[gerardvschip]

Hi.

Does anyone know a way to sync exchange contacts with a local addressbook so my users have an up to date address book on their computer while they are offline? A one way sync would be fine, two way ideal.

Or am I missing something? The Calendar seems to be available offline, if I enter something it will be synced the next time I connect, same with emails so why not contacts?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Entourage does not provide the ability to download the
entire GAL or a portion of the GAL for offline use. You'll only have
your personal Contacts.

You can download my script to do GAL lookups while outside your company
network. This requires that you are using Entourage connected to your
OWA server. <http://entourage.mvps.org/exchange/exchangelookups.html>

Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this feature in
future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any
Office application.
