How to access the Global Address List (GAL) (Exchange 2007)

• Synopsis

  This guide will show you how to access the Global Address List (GAL) with Entourage.

• Applicable to

  All SherWeb hosted Exchange 2007 accounts.

• Prerequisite

  • a SherWeb hosted Exchange 2007 account
  • Entourage 2004 or Entourage 2008

• How to

  Note: Entourage can connect a user to his Exchange Server account using Internet, just like Outlook. However, when Entourage does this, it loses the ability to perform Global Address List (GAL) lookups. This AppleScript is a simple method to look up names, email addresses and other information.

  1. Download the script Entourage Exchange Lookup and mount it on your Desktop.
  2. If Entourage is configured with just one Exchange account, drag the “Exchange Lookup\cF.scpt” script directly into the “/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items” in your “home folder”. Your “home folder” will show up in Entourage in the Script menu.
  3. If Entourage is configured with two or more Exchange accounts, double click on the “Exchange Lookup\cF.scpt” script file to open it in the Script Editor. Change "Exchange account 1" to "Exchange account", which is the name of your Exchange account. Drag the scripts directly into the “~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items” folder where your home folder is located. Your files will appear under the Script menu in Entourage, ready to use.

  Note: You may wish to duplicate, customize and rename each script file to use with multiple Exchange accounts.

  4. To use the script, simply enter Control + F or select it from the Script menu in Entourage and please follow the steps.
