How do I set up a folder for clients in the global address book? For example, everyone in the company can see a contacts list that is on the network, but it lists only people from the company. I want them to be able to select "suppliers" and see a list of suppliers and their e-mails, or I want them to select "clients" and see a list of people who buy from us.

Thanks
 
1. Create a new recipient folder in Exchange server, 2. Either manually populate it or import from a csv file. When you do this you are adding to the Exchange database and these guys will show up in the Global Address list automatically. What you will have when you get done is a group labled "Suppliers" and then another "Clients" These will actually be part of the drop down choice presented to a user when he goes to pick a name from the available choices, i.e., recipients, global address, etc in the Outlook client. The trick to this is they have to be mutually exclusive, since it's one big database, anyone who is in Suppliers will cancel out anyone who is heading for the Clients group when you do an import from a csv.
 
Steve1445,
Thanks, but when I do that, the people show up in the root of the global address list as well as the folder "clients" or "suppliers." Is there any way to do this, so that employees here must scroll down and choose the submenu "clients" or "suppliers" ????

Thanks
