Exchange 2000 Hosting: The ASP Model, Part 2

The method I've outlined for multiple companies or divisions sharing a directory works well but has two minor problems with easy solutions. The first problem is that, by default, Offline Address Lists are rooted in the Store, so when I synchronize my Offline Address List and hit the road, I see all the users in the Store, not just the users in my division or custom address list. Exchange 2000 SP1 fixed this problem by letting you define custom Offline Address Lists just as you define custom recipient policies and custom address lists, so be sure that you're running SP1 or this Offline Address List problem might affect you. Right-click Offline Address Lists, create a new Offline Address List, and give it a descriptive name. As you create this Offline Address List, you'll notice that it doesn't have the same Security tab that many other objects have; it depends on the address list security settings. Figure 6 shows the dialog box you use to select an address list to associate with the Offline Address Lists. . . .
