Situation: a Exchange server 2016 with the latest CU / Outlook client 2016 (also latest updates).
On our Exchange server (1 piece) there are many databases (57). Per company there is also a gal, oab, addresslist,....
CompanyA has a E-mail Address Policy (EAP) and it determines if a user mailbox has an attribute and if the value in that attribute is the value added to the EAP it gets an address book of the company.
So to be more clear:
CompanyA: if attribute1 has a value = compA than it gets AddressBookA
CompanyB: if attribute1 has a value = compB than it gets AddressBookB
...
That is all ok. There must be a line between those 2 companies.
But now I have to add some mailboxes of companyB to users of companyA.
So I go to Outlook and in the Outlook profile (user of companyA) I add a new service. It connects to the mailbox of companyB with the credentials of account/mailbox of companyB. That went well.
After that I have to close Outlook and reopen it.
After reopening it should give me a popup where I can enter the credentials of the mailbox of companyB.
But instead of that it shows me a popup: it cannot find the mailbox in the address book. And ofcourse that is true because companyA is a member of the address book of companyA, not of companyB.
I have also setup a configuration so that companyA has its own address book, but in Outlook it sees also the address lists of the other companies (here companyB).
If anyone understands my question: is there a solution for this?
Kind regards
Kurt
