Outlook some how tunnels the queries through the RPC over HTTP connection that is used by Outlook 2007. But as evolution doesn't use that interface but rather uses the Outlook Web Access interface to talk to the server its not actually using the RPC over HTTP interface. This might be supported using the MAPI connector that is in development as it actually uses that protocol but I haven't had a chance to test it. I'm not sure if there's a defined interface for querying GC over the OWA interface but I suspect as the OWA server can talk to the domain it doesn't need one. Your better going to the evolution lists on http://mail.gnome.org for the definitive answer.
