Hello,

Two pcs running Outlook 2007 connected to an Exchange server 2010. Both Outlook using the same Exchange account. Both are configured to sync the address book offline.

When searching the address book, one returns all results as it suppose to, the other often "yield no results" or returns some of them :confused:

Any suggestions ?
 
Is this your GAL or Contacts folder?




When you get partial results, are the matches from the folder where you expect to find more? Outlook stops searching when it reaches the end of the address book where it finds a match.
 
Yes, they default to the same one; The contacts of the Exchange account. When "name only" is selected, they both show all contacts.

It is the Contacts folder, and yes, if some results are shown, they are from the contacts list.

For example, if I enter "sunrise" in both Outlook, one returns the eight results as it should, but the other returns none ! If I enter "sun" in both Outlook, one returns eight results, and the other returns two (And one of them has the 'sunrise' word in it :confused:).
