Windows Account field empty when adding a resource from Address bo

Hi *,

Here's the scenario :
Gant Chart View : I add a resource using the Exchange Global address book.
Resource sheet view : Double-click on my resource and the field 'Windows
Account' is empty although the UserID is correct in the address book.

If I click the 'Windows Account' button I get a popup error message saying :
"Project could not retrieve the Windows User Account from the address book
for "The resource's name"
Try the following:
- Check the spelling of the user account for the resource
- Check your network connection, and then try again"

When I try to use the Active Directory, I enter the username but then all
the other fields remain blanks (Lastname Firstname)

Any idea ?
