GAL search of forest root domain

[trevormarshall]

Email Client: Exchange

Hi, hopefully there is an AD/Exchange/Entourage guru here who can help..

For reasons I won't go into here we are moving our email users from domain
company.com to sub-domain corp.company.com.

At the moment I can search company.com with search base dc=company,dc=com,
however this does not show any users migrated to dc=corp,dc=company,dc=com

Meanwhile, Outlook users can still see the migrated users in the GAL, which
makes me suspect they are searching a different DN, maybe CN=Default Global
Address List,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists
Container,CN=company,CN=Microsoft
Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=company,DC=com

Is there any way to make Entourage mimic Outlook's GAL lookup?

thanks!
Trevor

I'm not sure what to expect with Entourage but I would suspect that it
should allow you to search sub-domains as well.

Typically, you do not need to specify a search base at all in the
Exchange account's LDAP server settings. You can usually leave it blank
and Entourage will work with what is provided by the server. Have you
tried that yet?
