Global Address Book (MS Exchange Directory) on Lumia 920

[lumia8]

I've successfully setup my company email in my Lumia 820 and the sync works quite smoothly.

My problem now is when I search for a name via People Hub, I was expecting this will send the query to Exchange via ActiveSync and return answers from the GAL, rather than getting 'Couldn't complete search - we're having trouble searching at the moment. Try again later'.

Message has been the same for the past week on Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. Using my Nokia E72 with the same account, connecting to the GAL is fine. Any suggestions?

Finally I figured it out. Checkmark the "Contact" for sync. Works fine.
