Many of our software people access our Exchange 5.5 server remotely.

Many have requested that their contact list be available after logging into Exchange via our SMTP link.

How do I turn this on?

If you're using the Corporate/Workgroup setup in Outlook 2000, while online, they can go to Tools-->Synchronize-->Download Address Book.

Oh, and they could also copy their Contacts from the Mailbox into a Contacts folder in Personal Folders.

They can synchronize Outlook from the Exchange server. This feature must be turned on through the exchange administrator. Do a search on Synchronization from within the Microsoft Exchange Administrator and it will walk you through the process of allowing the synchronization to occur on both the client and the server. Also, they could just copy the contacts from the server to their local
*.pst file and always have it with them.

well, I am confused. How is it possible that I can with my mailbox
- NOT Outlook 2k client on same Exchange server:

Nother weirdness - This persons manager who migrated from Outlook 97 to 2K can as well.

As far as synchronization note on Admin - no help at all

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.
