Set Outlook Address Book order when used in a Microsoft Exchange environment
Before posting How to force Outlook to auto resolve a name from the GAL I should’ve covered how to set the address book order Outlook looks at when auto resolving a name entered in the To: field.

I mentioned in the post that Outlook automatically resolved the name entered in the To: field by querying the GAL. However compared to Lotus Notes Type-ahead this auto resolve process didn’t happen instantly. There’s a delay of several seconds with Outlook querying the GAL and returning a matching recepient email address obtained from the Global Address List (for internal recepients or contacts in the GAL).
If you want to force Outlook to auto resolve a name instantly from the GAL simply type in the name on the To: field of the message you’re composing and press Ctrl + K.
