During summer 2013 we shifted from SBS 2008 (Exchange 2007 which worked great but just constantly bottle-necked) to Windows 2012 with Exchange 2013. The migration seemed have gone well but when users went to access the company's public folders, mainly the central contact database (a Public Contacts folder) via OWA and Outlook 2011 for Mac, they were able to access them. The only contacts that showed was their local contacts and the Directory which I can't seem to update at all.
Is there a way for me to get the users access to the contacts database via OWA and Outlook 2011 for Mac?
I've tried the following so far:
* Created a new user mailbox, copied all the contact to the local contacts list and shared but didn't work.
* Manually updating contacts and then copying to individual users' local contacts
* Directory contacts only show the name and email address and no other info which is a huge problem for the organization.
* When I access the Public Contacts folder via a PC, I have full access but when I update contacts, they either don't show or don't update in the directory in OWA under People.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
