exchange 2007: GAL updates
GAL changes are immediately visible from OWA, however the offline address book (OAB) won’t reflect the change until the next OAB update interval. the interval is configured from the EMC->Organization Configuration->Mailbox->Offline Address Book. there’s also an option to right-click the OAB and select Update (i haven’t tried this yet).
to get the latest copy of the OAB from an outlook client go to the Send/Receive tab->Send/Receive Groups->Download Address Book.
