Hi
We are running an Exchange 2010 / AD 2003 environment, and I had some questions on the Global Address List I was hoping someone could help with.
a) My understanding is that Outlook accesses the GAL via the CAS server the Outlook client is connected to. How does this work exactly? Is the query proxied somehow?
b) Am I correct in thinking that the GAL just holds a small number of mailbox attributes such as name, telephone number etc. Is there a way to see which AD attributes are included? I can't see a link anywhere on the MS site.
c) Is the GAL held on all GC's? Or just some?
d) Can we use the GAL to find out which mailbox database a mailbox is on?
