How to Configure Mac Address Book for Exchange 2003
Mac users can rely on their Address Book application to keep track of the names, phone numbers, home addresses and email addresses of their contacts. However, Mac users who use Exchange 2003 may discover that there is no easy way to configure the Mac Address Book to synchronize information with Exchange 2003. To get around this limitation, Mac users should download a specific script that enables synchronization with Entourage, the application that hosts your Exchange 2003 contact information.
