We have Exchange 2003. How can I have groups in our global address
book/list. Currently I have listed in the global address list these groups:
Global address list
All address lists
All Contacts
All Groups
All Users
Public Folders
and so on

I want to create an "EM Users" heading or group with several users in it.
How would I go about doing that. The goal is that I have workstations that I
want to configure the Outlook client global address book to point to that
group so they don't have to fish through all the users in the organization
and just focus to that group of email users because that is 99% of where
their email would be sent.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Any questions about my question let me know.

You would need to create a new global address list and address list and use filters on them. You can use 1 of the 15 custom attributes on a user so you know what to search for in your filter. Once your address list / offline address book has been built you will see it in outlook when you click on the address book icon and select it from the drop down menu.
