Requirements
Microsoft Outlook
- PBX Version 12r2
- myPBX Windows launcher Version 12r2
Configuration
You have an Office Integration tab inside the myPBX configuration window. Here you can enable Search in Outlook Contacts. This triggers myPBX to search in your personal Outlook Contacts.
Search and Result Attributes
The Outlook search uses the External LDAP Server configuration in the user configuration to define the attributes used. As this configuation uses LDAP attributes, those must be mapped to valid Micsorofto Outlook Attribute schemes. Here is the mapping:
Note that the Outlook name lookup does not use LDAP. Only its configuration is inferred from the LDAP search configuration.
Usage
Outlook Search will find contacts in all exchange accounts and all contact folders from these accounts.
Known limitations
- Works only with windows launcher and so Windows compliant only.
- Works only if outlook is installed and configured with a MAPI profile.
- Not compatible with the reverse name resolution, based on incoming calling party numbers.
- Not compatible with the call list history, only called numbers will be stored as record.
