"my suggestion is that you create a new OU for contacts and fill this with the "contact" objects (which can contain these contact details, but are not logon accounts." am not clear on that can u perhaps elaborate more.

Great but the information must be secure, can only flow between the organization. And access is need from anywhere home or be it out of region

So why would Google Drive be bad for that?

Yet you use email to distribute your address book. How is that different? Are you using your own SMTP server?

Seems hard to imagine a way to update and share data on real time without using cloud software, especially since it has to be accessed off-site.

By the way, root, you said "your organization uses exchange", what do you mean by exchange? Microsoft Exchange?

PS: what do you think about root's suggestion?

 

[Pepe_Love]

Yes Microsoft exchange

your organisation uses exchange.

Does your organisation run its own active directory.

in active directory you can store all that information, and it is available in the global address list, (you can see this contact information when you choose who to send a message to.)

this information is held on the domain controllers and exchange server, and will be available to anyone logged in where they can send email.

people in your organisation need the details filled in on their active directory user account.
people outside your organisation need to have an object in the active directory, my suggestion is that you create a new OU for contacts and fill this with the "contact" objects (which can contain these contact details, but are not logon accounts.

Will give it a shot.. Thnx
