Unable to lookup contacts in corporate directory

[nabril1569]

looking for assistance from anyone that has been able to lookup contacts from the corporate directory.

I see a group called CORPORATE in my contacts, but that does not allow me to look up anything. That group is saved for syncing your Outlook stored contacts at work with the phone.

I would like to be able to lookup people and their properties (phone number) from our corporate directory. Or to invite someone from work who is not in my contacts to a meeting.
The stock calendar app cant; I have downloaded Jorte and Business Calendar apps, but they dont do that either; I have emailed the developers to ask.

thanks

It works for me using Exchange. Under Settings>Accounts>Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync make sure you have contact sync selected. Then go into your contacts app and go to Settings>More>Display Options and make sure you have your Exchange account contacts set to display. If this is set up correctly when you start searching for a contact it will give you the option to either "Search Online" or "Search Corporate Directory" depending which app you are in. They both accomplish the same thing.

Good post.....also in my case I didn't want to sync the 3k+ contacts from my corporate directory so I just enable the ability to view the Exchange active sync contacts and now I can search for corporate contacts as needed, but they're not in my contact list......
