Android Contacts: Display Groups and Outlook Live Contact Groups

[doni49]

I have an Android Phone (Moto Droid Pro) running 2.3.3. The school district for whom I work has just switched us to an Outlook Live system using Exchange ActiveSync. Every employee is listed in the global address book. There are public groups in this address book. Each school in the district is represented as a group and every employee in that school is in the respective group.

Our previous mail server setup (also using ActiveSync) had groups too. On my Android, I could choose which of these groups to show. Naturally, I only showed the school in which I work.

Now that we've switched over to Outlook Live, I can't get my phone to show me these groups. In addition, when I type a name of a person that I know is in the global address book, Android DOES find the person. But I can't just browse through a list of the people.

Lastly, I created two groups in my personal contact list--the members of these groups are people from the global address book. Specifically, they are a select group of teachers at my school. But these groups don't show up on my phone either.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Did you find a solution to the following:

I have someone having this issue.
Thanks.

No. It seems to be a difference in the servers. The actual contacts showed up. What I was looking to do is limit the number of contacts that showed up on my phone.

Can someone please help??? I use outlook.com or live account as my email and contacts. I cant figure out why i put a new contact in my live account and when i go to my LG G2 phone and go to contacts, go to groups that i set up and then try to add that contact to my group i set up, its not there. If i just go to contacts on phone its there, but when i hit groups and then try to add a member to the group its not there. When i put that new contact in gmail it will allow me to add to a group. Not sure why this is or does the android phone not work with my live account??? Again, when i add a new contact in live it does sync right away to my phone, but cant add in a group.

Thanks
