how to find a GAL entry in AD

Their is an entry in our Global address book for a user account that i
cannot find in AD

Looking at the properties of this account, the only real info i can get from
it is,
email addresses, and still unable to find it..

any ideas?...

thank you

Re: how to find a GAL entry in AD

Rob - you can try searching for the matching e-mail address in AD using
adfind:
adfind -s subtree -b "dc=yourdomain,dc=tld" -f
"(proxyaddressesl=SMTP:emailaddress@yourdomain.tld)
