Create new distribution list

[bbgal]

Hi:

I am totally new to exchange, and have some queries which i hope u guys can help.
I am running exchange 5.5 sp4 with win NT
My sales manager has given me 3 documents contating a list of email address where she label them as Customers, Partners and Prospects.
She wants me to create new distribution lists for these 3 groups and add in the email address of these ppl in the list.
How do i go about doing that????
Do i do it locally at her inbox or at the exchange server?
Btw she wants all the sales ppl to be abled to see all these new distibution lists in their global address lists.

I would add each address as a custom recipient, then create a DL with them all included.

Your sales people should remember to put this list in the BCC field when sending mails, unless they want clients to see who else you do business with!

you will want to do this on the server so that the other people will be able to access the list. If you do it locally on her machine it will on be visible in her contacts. just click on your recipients container and click file --> new distribution list and add as needed.

thanks for all your reply
after i have create the contacts and distribution lists on the exchange server, she came screaming at me, telling me that is not the way she wants it!!!
She told me she wants the contacts and distribution lists only visible to her and her sales ppl.
Does that means what she wants can only be done only on the sales ppl outlook? Can it be done on the server??

well i would say the easiest way to do this is make a personal address book build the distrubition list on there, save it to a disk, and import it into their outlooks as a personal address book. then copy that address book contents to their regular contacts.

does that means it's not possible to do it on the server?

you can not do it on the server if you do not want everyone to see the distribution list.
