How to let a user create contacts and manage a distributionlist in Exchange 2010
Hi,
I need to have one of my standard domain users manage a distributionlist. I'm running MS Exchange 2010 on a MS Server 2008 Standard R2 and all users are running Windows XP and Outlook 2007.
The main hurdle is that I'd like the user to be able to create new contacts and then add them to the distributionlist, as all the members don't exist in the global address list.
Can this be done directly from the users Outlook or will she require access to the Exchange 2010 server?
Thanks in advance,
Ronnie

I am not sure Outlook 2007 can do it, but try the web version.
The particular one that i cannot confirm is to let the users to create contacts .... it maybe able to do so, but i am not 100% sure.
you can test it and tell me whether it works :)

Hi again,
the challenge is not how I can enable the user to add and remove members of the distribution list but rather if I cal allow her to v´create new contacts without granting her access to the server. This part I'm not sure how to do if it's possible at all.
Thanks,
Ronnie

yup, as i said, this is one of the challenge i am not 100% sure.
i summarise the link said
goto to https://yoururl.com/ecp
try to get into the below screen ( i think is clicking user & group)

in that screen, you will able to click on external contact and create a external contact via ECP

Hi davorin,
you're right. The list will only be used by internal users and having it in a contacts public folder would make sense. How do I create that?

Hi davorin,
I've now created a new folder and added a distributionlist in there. It works perfect.
Thanks a lot for your help with this.
