Allow users to update global address list

[BonnieLass]

Please forgive the newbie question. I want my users to be able to update some of their information (like their phone and address information) in the Global Address List. They can see their properties when they browse the GAL but the user can't change them any of them. Is there something I need to enable?

Thanks,
Bonnie

GALMOD is certainly the cheapest (free) way to do this. It is kind of a pain and does not update all of the common attributes (state, department, company...) Plus, you have to get it deployed to the user's desktop since it is not integrated with Outlook.

A web-based solution may be a better approach. Imanami (

has a very flexible and powerful solution called WebDir. There is also something called rDirectory (

that I think will do this and has some good features. Or a solution called Directory Update (

which is more reasonably priced and fairly versatile; it is also the easiest to deploy.

Hope this helps
