Hello.
I'm having an issue with Microsoft Outlook and LDAP-directory. I'm using
LDAP with Samba (PDC) and bunch of WinXP workstations. Server itself is
running Debian Etch, if that makes any difference.
Everything runs quite smoothly, users can login with their own account
and all. Now we're building an internal address book to maintain
mailing-list(ish) for different user groups (ie. employees, management,
office1, office2 and so on).
WinXP workstations use Outlook for email and users can obtain individual
addresses / accounts via LDAP just fine when writing an email. They can
also see the groups LDAP has but they're shown as users instead of
groups. Obviously that's not the behaviour we're after and after quite a
lot of googling I didn't find anything really helpful. Hopefully someone
here can help me out with this one.
Related to that, is it possible to hide computer accounts from users,
since now when they search addresses via outlook they'll see computers
as well. This is a minor issue, but slightly annoying as well.
Third, users can't browse the directory directly and they have to search
users via department/office to get the information they're after. I
don't know if that's issue with outlook itself or is that a problem with
ldap-configuration.
