Sure.  This is called the "Global Address List" in Exchange.

If you already  have an account created for your Exchange mailbox, you
can edit it (Edit -> Preferences, then choose Mail Accounts, then select
your mail account (it should have a "Protocol" of "exchange") and press
"Edit").

Now go to the Receiving Options tab, and enter your Global Address List
server into the box labeled "Global Address List / Active Directory".
Note that this may well NOT be the same server as the one you configured
for email!  If you don't know this server you'll have to ask your IT
admin-type folks.

That's it!  Press "OK" and you're done.  Now if you go to the Contacts
section you should see a "Global Address List" entry; you can click that
then look up names.  Also, as you type addresses in an email it will
complete from that list.
