Vista - How can I query LDAP in WLM?

Hi,
I'm using WLM to access our Exchange. Both 'send' and 'recieve' are OK.But I
cannot query Directory service.
In OE, there is an Active Direcotry account I can use to query people. How
can I setup this in WLM?

btw,
I setup a Contact Directory account use our Exchange server address, but it
always said:
The specified directory service could not be reached.
The service may be temporarily unavailable or the server name may be
incorrect.

Does any expert have experience about that?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about using Exchange as an LDAP server, but I do know
Windows Live Mail works with regular LDAP servers. I have Windows Live Mail
configured on my test box to connect to an LDAP server, and it still works.

Are you on XP or Vista? Can you try OE or Windows Mail with your Exchange
server? Do you need to authenticate against your Exchange server with a
user name and password? Is Exchange setup for using the standard LDAP port
(389)?

How are you attempting to access your server through Windows Live Mail? Are
you resolving names in the address wells using the server when you hit send?
Are you using the "Find People" dialog box through Contacts?

Thanks for using Windows Live Mail!

I'm using Windows7 Beta and can access our Exchange server with WLM.Incoming
server use IMAP. When I access Exchange, I use domain\username to
authenticate.
The only problem is name resolving. In OE, there is an directory service
account named 'LDAP' by default, I can use it to resolve name (Ctrl+K). I've
checked it's properties, but everything is 'NULL'. So I don't know how to do
the name resolving.
Another question, when I input name in sendto box and press Ctrl+K in OE,
Domain Controller is the responser, not Exchange server, am I right?

Thanks!
