Outlook chooses wrong global adress list

[Nick Vass]

We are in the process of upgrading to a new server (SBS2003) from SBS2000.
Connecting Outlook to the new server went without a hitch but the global
address book stays connected to the old server.
Checking the properties on the address book show it attached to the old
server but there is no way to change the connection. Is there any way to do
this without editing the registry?

Using Outlook (XP) and Outlook2003. One Outlook 2003 will not accept the new
server and always reverts regardless of the connection selection.
Regards
Nick

I would post this to SBS group that have more expertise in this area. Did you all follow this document to do the upgrade though?

The SBS's are both still working it is not an upgrade it is a new server and
the old one will come offline once all the other functions are migrated. The
problem goes away if I disconnect the old server but as I wish to keep both
servers on line so my problem is Outlook 'finding' a different server for the
address book that that allocated to the mailbox store and how to stop it
happening. Thanks for the reply.
