Q: How do I search the UCSB directory for someone with Outlook?
A:
In order to add the directory service to your Microsoft outlook account, first load up outlook, then, from the drop down menus, choose Tools, Accounts. Once you have done this, you should be able to select the directory tab:

Click Add, then Directory Service. This will bring up the directory service wizard, in which, you should enter directory.ucsb.edu.

Then, click Next.

Choose Yes, and click Next. Then, click Finish. You should now see this:

Click Properties, then choose the Advanced tab. Enter “o=ucsb” for the Search base, and click OK.

Once you have done this, you have configured your email program to search the UCSB directory. To search the directory, open a new email, and click the To button, and in the new window that opens up, click the Find button.

Once this window is open, click the down arrow to open the menu, and choose directory.ucsb.edu. Then, enter the name that you want to search for, and click Find Now.
