Default Zimbra IM addressbook

Hi Everybody.

We have evaluating Zimbra IM as corporate Instant Messaging application.
However, we lack the ability to have a "Corporate addressbook" so that each user that login into IM system has all company in his addressbook.
At this moment, each user have to manually add their own contacts.

The question is, is there any way to automatically add all contacts to IM Address List? (for example via db script o zmprov script). Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem -- I have two accounts that can IM each other but I end up having to manually add the other user to my list.

Whereas, on our current live production OpenFire server, this isn't the case... when you login, you see all other employees. I suspect it's because on our current openfire (that I didn't setup myself) all employees point to a certain group.

Is this one of those "in progress"/Beta issues?

This is also very interesting for me.
At this time we are using Openfire as IM Server but later i want to use Zimbra also as IM Server.

FWIW, OpenFire calls it "Enable contact list group sharing"
