Auto-resolution with LDAP in Outlook 2007?

D

David Raimosson

Hi!

I've been digging with LDAP to configure Outlook 2007 to auto-complete my
To field when typing in a name or email address. WITHOUT pressing CTRL+K I'd
want it to either auto-complete or display a list of matching receivers.

When I open up a new email to send and start typing in a name and wait for
half a minute or so it obviously searches the LDAP because an LDAP error
message occurs (too many matches...). That's without the registry value
NoDisplayNameSearch. As far as I've understood this kind of auto-population
isn't affected by the VLV browsing, because that's only activated when
opening up the address book manually, I haven't looked into that after
reading the KB articles.

Competitors that successfully implemented the expected beahiour is Mozilla
ThunderBird and Netscape Mail. Microsoft should be able to implement this
just as well.

And they have no problems with more than 5,000 entries in the LDAP
directory. The whole idea with LDAP is to browse large catalogs, right?

(And just ignore that EU thing about paying their fines...)
