Contacts sharing

[Laks]

Hi,

I have to get a list of contacts from the default 'Contacts' folders of
a group of people programmatically.

I cannot use Exchange scripting nor is all the people in this group
sharing their contacts folder with me a viable option.

Is there any way that I can programmatically get the contacts from the
their default 'Contacts' folder without using any of the above methods?
BTW, these people all use either Outlook 2002 or 2003.

Thanks in advance,
Laks

If the other people aren't sharing their Contacts folders, an Outlook-related application has no way to access that information. You've already ruled out direct scripting at the server level, so there's no other way to do this.
