- An LDAP server -- especially if you have a Windows 2000 server running Active Directory, which is Outlook can access with its LDAP service. See Shared address book with Active Directory.
- A web-based contact list with a synchronization feature
- Using the Briefcase to Share Microsoft Outlook Folders
