Hi,

We are using BES Express 5.0.2 and everything is working fine, but there is one thing I don't understand: we have a lot of our internal users (that are in our Global Address Book) also as a contact in the public contact folder. Those entries sych fine, but the email address that matches the GAL address is being skipped.

Is that a feature or a bug? Or something that can be changed?

Thanks in advance!

Unless something's changed that I don't know of, GAL doesn't sync. You can perform lookups against it, but the records don't sync like contact records. We keep very little information in Active Directory and use it only to maintain accounts. We keep all contact info for employees in Public Folders. That way, it's easy to set up admin types to maintain records without them monkeying around in AD.

GAL doesn't sync, thats right. Only the public contacts folder does. But the problem is dat an email address from a public contact that also exist in the GAL doesn't sync. So if I have a user with two email adresses:




And he is also in the GAL with as , only the address will sync. It simply skips the companyA address!

Thanks again.

OK, I misunderstood your problem.

I'm stumped, because we have a similar setup. I've got two addresses in AD, one for company 'a' and one for company 'b', but only my company 'a' address shows in the GAL and it syncs with no problem.

Ok, thanks anyway. I noticed another problem today, notes from public contacts don't sync either. There must be something really wrong...

I just checked a few records and our notes sync. Public Folder sync is relatively new and may be a bit buggy. One thought - is your default form for the PF you're syncing customized? We had our contacts in a customized form and it caused a lot of issues when syncing records. Other than that, I have no other ideas. Hopefully some of the more knowledgeable members will chime in on this one.
