SUMMARY
=======

With Exchange Server 5.5, clients can download address templates for offline
use. However, offline use is limited to address templates with an address type
that matches the relative distinguished name of the template. For additional
information about how to create one-off address templates for Exchange Server,

MORE INFORMATION
================

When the offline Address Book generator builds the template file, the offline
Address Book generator writes only the directory name to the file, not the
address type. The offline Address Book generator and client Address Book
provider have the built-in assumption that the address type is always equal to
the relative distinguished name of the one-off template. For example, when you
install a one-off address template with TMPLINST as follows, the /NAME needs to
equal /TYPE for offline use:

  TMPLINST /SITEDN=/o=Organization/ou=Site /DISPLAY_NAME=Testtmpl /NAME=sdk
  /TYPE=sdk /SYNTAX=c:test.oel /SERVER=Server
  /MESSAGE_DT=c:\test.blt /RECIPIENT_DT=c:\test.blt /ADDRESS_DT=c:\test.blt
  /LANGUAGE=409
