Creating seperate Email distribution group and contact list in Exchange 2007/outlook 2010

Hi

We use exchange 2007 and outlook 2010.
I have 20 users who belong to a different organisation.
On our domain firstly i want to create a email distribution group called MEDICAL so that our staff can send email to all 20 staffs by choosing MEDICAL email group.

Secondly i want to create a contact list and put all 20 users within this contact list and when our users want to send email they can choose staff from the contact list to whom they want to send.

Please suggest.

Thanks

I  did the following In my exchange went to
Recipient configuration-Right click-New contact

In the Dialog box:
I entered all the details
OU- where the contact is going to be:
First name:
Last name:
Alias:
External email address:

Now the user has appeared as a contact in the address book.
Is it possible to Put a Title for this user so that  the Title appears next to the contact in the address book. I cant find a way of putting a a title.

We do have users with same name within our domain there is a tile next to the contact in the address book.
so that users if wanted to email can easily identify the right user contact in the address book by looking at the tile for the staff who have same names.

Thanks

Hi Mark

In the exchange If I go to the mail contact-Right click the user and properties- Under Contact information, there is a field for (Simple display name). I hope this what you mean.
This field is empty at the moment. I will put the staff name followed by the department name

If I am right will this staff name get updated with the department name  in the Global address list .

Thanks

Hi Pappaslim

On my exchange In the users mail contact properties I added the department name in front of the simple display name(field) and also in the Name(filed) as well .In the global address book even after 24 hours it only displays the name , not with department name-followed by the name.

Please advise  and thanks!
