mail enabled pub Calendar no show in GAL

[mikeshen]

Hello Forum

I setup two mail-enabled Public calendar in exhange 2003 with SP2.

but the two email addresses are not showing up in global address list. they do show in Public Folders contact list.

I have since restarted Exchange attendant services, still no luck.

other mail-enabled pub folders show up in GAL properly.

anyone here shed some light on this.

any input welcome

many thx in advance.

Does it show up in the GAL preview in System Manager?

Right click on the GAL in System Manager and choose properties > general tab > preview and click find now. In the list?

If OWA is enabled is it missing there also?

Is it missing only on the Outlook client?

Or none of the above... is it missing everywhere?

Best regards-

hi there

thx for the reply. ironically those two pub cal email addresses now show up in GAL after two days.

i am just wondering why it took so long. do i have to reboot the exchange server to force it?

anyway, I just add another one, it does show up in the GAL preview list. But no show at outlook GAL yet.

once again, many thanks for the help.

Re: mail enabled pub Calendar no show in GAL

If you are using Outlook 2003 in cached mode then it can take up to 48 hours before an address will appear. This is because the OAB is only generated every 24 hours and Outlook only downloads an updated OAB every 24 hours or when it is started. You can change the generation time, but not the download option.

They primarily use outlook 2007. There is a PC running outlook XP, I can check changes right away.
