"Directory Services" menu command missing from Entourage underService pack 2

J

Jim Vance

Yesterday I updated Microsoft Office 2004 using Service Pack 2 (11.2.0).
Today I have noticed that the handy "Directory Services" menu command
available in Entourage prior to Service Pack 2 is *gone*. With this command
one could connect to an ldap server and quickly get an address book "card"
for an individual, optionally adding it to the local address book kept by
Entourage.

Can anyone shed any light on what happened here? In particular, if I am
mistaken and this command (or a renamed equivalent) is available, I would
appreciate learning about that. Otherwise, can anyone at Microsoft tell us
why this command has been removed, and whether it will be brought back?

Thanks in advance for all replies to this post.

Just look in the Address Book area. You'll see the LDAP servers there, as
separate address books, where you can browse to your heart's content.

Control-click (right-click) on the "Address Book icon" and you can select
"Directory [Exchange Account]" to display that GAL (Global Address List).
You can search using the search selection box located above right of the
list of names.

Click the "Address Book" button in the upper left corner of the Entourage
main window, and then select the LDAP server you want to access in the left
Views pane.
