The last post in my series of Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 posts. When using Outlook in an office environment you normally run it in cached exchange mode, put simply, this means that it stores a local copy of your mailbox, and associated items so that you can still work and prepare emails, appointments and notes whilst you exchange server may be offine.

I recently wanted to free up some hard drive space from my Windows Vista Business laptop, first off I used the newly improved “Disk Cleanup” utility, which can get rid of a lot of unnecessary files like temporary internet, cached office docs and temp files. After disk cleanup, i set on with the standard task of looking at properties of folders to see where the largest files were located and came across a few folders you may not need that can give you quite a few GB free.
If you are reading this, then you probably already know the answer, but we can cover some of the items it involves. If you run a network of computers, then 90% of the time you want a way to manage them from a central source, this is affectively what Active Directory can do for you.
This is going to be a very short post, a Global Address List is a list of global (relative to the organisation, not the world!) contact details from your Active Directory(AD). Whenever you send an email or use the messaging features of Exchange, it takes a look at this GAL to see if it already has the details before venturing into the world to find the details.
