I'd like to set up multiple address books that everyone has access to. The address books are only going to be used for emailing purposes. They are basically just contacts from other companies. For example, I might want to create an address book called "Company1" and "Company2". Where do I create this and what rights to set up in the ACL? Should I create a Person document for each contact and put those contacts in an OU labeled after the name of their company?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
 
create a file on the server, based on the personal address book format
create groups, contacts, ...
assign acl rights to the users who have to support the addressbook
(make sure that everybody in your OU or domain can at least 'read' the database,
but make sure the default access is set to no access..; just for security purposes

place this file on your server, in the data directory
edit notes.ini,
look for names=names.nsf
and change it to

names=names.nsf, yourdatabase.nsf
(make sure names.nsf is listed FIRST)

then restart the server, and everybody will be able to use this address book without additional config... --------------------------------------------------------------------
