ARCHIVED: In Mac OS X, how do I search for an address in the ADS Global Address List?

In Mac OS X, you can connect to Indiana University's Exchange server with the Contacts (OS X 10.8 and later) or Address Book (OS X 10.7 and before) application. Once connected, applications that use this data (e.g., Mac OS X Mail) can look up names and email addresses in the Global Address List (GAL). You can also search directly from the Contacts or Address Book application.

Contacts and Address Book configuration

To search the Global Address List with Contacts or Address Book, you must have a Microsoft Exchange account.
