To add and configure a new phone book

Open Phone Book Administrator.
On the File menu, click New Phone Book.
In New phone book name, type the phone book name, and then click OK.

A phone book name must contain no more than eight characters, cannot consist of all digits, and must not contain a space or any symbols, including but not limited to: ! , ; * = / \ : ? ' " < > | . & % {} [] @ ( ) ´ ` ~

If you are creating a customized phone book for use with a Connection Manager profile, the phone book name must match the one you typed in the Phone Book Updates pane in the Connection Manager Administration Kit Wizard.
In Phone books, click the new phone book.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, type the server name or address, user name, and password used to post phone books to the Phone Book Service (PBS) server.

Do not use spaces in these entries.

Notes

You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators or the Power Users group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.
To open Phone Book Administrator, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Phone Book Administrator.
The account used for posting the phone book must have a password. The password cannot be null or contain spaces.
You can change options for this phone book at any time by repeating steps 5 and 6.
When you publish the phone book, the user name and password will be used to send it using FTP to the server specified in the Options dialog box.
For better security, do not provide a user name and password in the Options dialog box until you are ready to post a phone book. After you have posted a phone book, clear the user name and password entries before you close Phone Book Administrator (PBA).
Phone Book Administrator is available only in English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. However, you can create a phone book in another language by running PBA on an operating system optimized for that language.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
