Need Help!
I have users running Entourage X with the Exchange updates installed, I have
an exchange server running windows 2003, I can configure the Macs to see the
mailboxes and send and receive mail fine from the exchange server but cannot
do a browse on the Global Address List, The "Check Name" function works and
brings up a selection of possible matches when I type in the box, but I
would like to be able to browse the whole list like I used to be able to in
Outlook 2001?

Any Ideas or instructions on how I can do this?

Thanks.

You can't. I'm curious as to why browsing is more useful to you than
searching. In my org, the GAL is tens of thousands (if not 100000) of
entries. There's no way browsing does me any good unless I can narrow it
somehow first, which a search does just fine for me.

You simply can't. Entourage uses LDAP to access the GAL and LDAP is not
browsable, you can only query it :-\ (Outlook Win and 2001 use MAPI to
browse the GAL).
