如何在 Android 和 iOS 移动设备上同步 Microsoft GAL（全局地址列表）

Question

We use Office 365 in the organization and add employee contact information to the Exchange. All contact information of these employees can then be found in the GAL (Global Address List) in Outlook.

We want all this employee information to be available to all other employees on mobile devices, eg. when someone calls you from an organization to know who is calling you, and also when you need to call someone to have that information on your mobile device.

The solution I found included manually copying from GAL to contacts ( https://www.slipstick.com/exchange/making-the-exchange-server-gal-portable/ )

But unfortunately this is not a good solution when new employees arrive or certain employee contact details change.

The question is, how to automatically sync contacts from GAL to Android and iOS devices (without additional 3-party software)?

Answer 1

there is no solution integrated in Exchange. You need to use 3-party or to develop a script which copy GAL in each user contacts folder

Answer 2

sorry dont have solution yet, we are facing same problem. Someone can explain what do they mean on "mobile devices" - The contacts are visible to all users in Microsoft Outlook, Outlook on the Web, and mobile devices.
