Re: [Evolution] Active Directory

["Wise, Jeremey" <jeremey wise agilysys com>]

Pardon my being a whiner but doesn't this make Evolution as an Exchange
replacement rather broken. I puchased Evolution under the pretense that
I could replace all major functionality. Being able to query to whom in
corporate the message will be going to is rather critical in nature.

Now that I am done ranting: Is it (or has someone) build a local
OpenLDAP server and connection from it to AD, then pointed Evolution to
the local Open LDAP service for name lookup? Based on my limited RTFM it
seems this not only can be done but is the only route to get Linux to
speak to AD (ie not just modifications to a client but having to
impliment the full server on each host). 

Input greatly apreaciated.
