| Why don't you use MAPI ELF on the client side and then you don't need
to worry about the GAL at all?

That's fine if you can get everyone to update their elf entries...

| Well - all the DigitalX Exchange users seem to have their email address
correctly populated in ELF V3 - which is all the Exchange GAL seems to
hold, plus ELF will give you the address of many non-exchange users.

| 917.4 | some Exchange users are in ELF | PARZVL::16.124.40.204::kennedy | nuncam non paratus | Tue Mar 04 1997 22:11 | 14 |
| Unfortunately, it's not all Exchange users (or even all users
of the CCS Exchange service). I understand that entries are
automatically added during bulk loads (when a group migrates
to Exchange), but not for the individuals. Not positive, but
it may also be US-only.
So, Exchange users should check their ELF entry & update
if necessary.

Re: the original question - this is not the best place to
ask - I don't think those who manage Exchange hang out here
much. The people to talk to would be Mike Grady, the Exchange
Program Manager, or Dan Martin, the Messaging Business Mgr.

...I agree that ELF V3 is probably the only real employee list left if there
could be a "mandate" to get everyone to check their elf entries that would
probably solve the problems for most exchange users in the company...

| 917.6 | What about contractors? | SNOFS1::OP_RT | RICHARD TOZER | Thu Mar 06 1997 07:19 | 7 |
| re -1
The last time I looked ELF v3 did not have contractors. Until it does
I would not consider it "the only real employee list left".

| Contractors aren't in the regular ELF database either. I'm not in the
GAL, since I don't have an Exchange account, and "they" won't (see
other replies here) give me an entry pointing to some other mail
system. Hence the GAL is by no means a complete list either.
ELF is still the best list around, unless you can tell us about a
generally available better one.

| Thanks Chaps, but you missed the smiley on the end of my title. My,
rather obscurely made point, being that unless you are an Exchange user
on the corporately supported Exchange network, then the GAL is no use
to you. Hence ELF remains the only source of address information.
