On the Tools menu, click Publish Phone Book.
In Release directory, browse to the directory in which you want to keep your files.
Click Create, and then click Post.

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.
Before attempting to post, make sure that you have set the Write permission for the Phone Book Service (PBS) FTP virtual directory. If the Write permission is not set, the phone book will not post.
If you specify a release directory on a remote computer, you may have to reset the directory every time you publish a phone book.
Every time you propagate a phone book by posting, it increments the version number of the phone book. If you post to multiple servers, the version numbers will be inaccurate. To propagate a phone book to multiple servers, you can use the replication capability of the Windows Server 2003 family.
You cannot create or post a phone book if no changes have been made to that phone book.
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.
