Re: [Evolution] Exchange Global Access List access - Evolution Config

[<jsteven4 capgeminienergy com>]

Hi Back,



I've been lurking long enough and will take a stab at answering this for

you.



Since you are in windows as well, let's find your directory server there

first.

When you are running outlook, on the ion in your lower right hand icon

bar, hold down the "ctrl" button and right click on the icon and select

"Connection Status" it does not appear unless you hit the control key

while clicking on the icon.

Under the general tab, note the "type" column and look for Directory.

There may be several. Use one of those server names as your "GAL".

Restart Evolution and you should be able to do simple searches. You may

want to limit the amount of responses at first to let's say 5 and search

for someone that you know for sure is in there and will pull a response.

The broaden the amount of responses based on the response from the

server. 



Tip:

Keep the GAL server name somewhere in a text file perhaps. I tend to

forget that server name. If you are using 2.6 or earlier, on the

occasional crash of Evolution, you may loose your GAL settings. I don't

know why this is. But, simply putting it back in will fix the woes. I

don't know if this problem exists in 2.8.



Hope this helps and is somewhat accurate.

Joseph S.

Subject: [Evolution] Exchange Global Access List access - Evolution

Config





Hi,



   I am planning to switch my office PC to Linux soon. In my company,

they

use Exchange, and they support Outlook Web Access (OWA).



   I could easily figure out how to to configure Evolution to access my

corporate Email/Calendar & such, and it works really great.



   Now in order to migrate my PC I also need to learn set up Evolution

to

search in the corporate directory. I have been playing (and reading)

with

the GAL configuration with no success.



   I have no clue how to setup it up. Of course I can't get support from

my

company's help desk for this. Can someone send me some suggestions in

what

to try for the GAL setup?



   For OWL (works over the internet), they use:

https://owator.mycompanyname.com/exchange/

   

   For Global Catalog Server Name I tried:

https://owator.mycompanyname.com/gal/   and similar, with no luck.



    What I know is that in my PDA with WIndows ME and internet

connectivity,

I configured outlook with just the OWA URL, and it can access the

corporate

directory with no problems. This tells me that GAL should somehow work

with

Evolution too, I think.



Any help would be much appreciated.



Thanks!

A
