Dear friend
I have just finished a assignment on this.
Please try this code.

void MyFunc()
{
LPMAPISESSION pSession = NULL;
HRESULT hRes = 0;
LPADRBOOK lpAddrBook = NULL;
LPMAPIPROP lpGal = NULL;
LPMAPITABLE pTable = NULL;
BOOL bContinue = FALSE;

hRes = MAPIInitialize(NULL);

hRes = MAPILogonEx(0,NULL,NULL,MAPI_NEW_SESSION | MAPI_EXPLICIT_PROFILE | MAPI_ALLOW_OTHERS |MAPI_LOGON_UI,&pSession );


//The IMAPISession::OpenAddressBook method opens the MAPI integrated
address book, returning an IAddrBook pointer for further access.

hRes = pSession->OpenAddressBook((ULONG)NULL,
NULL,AB_NO_DIALOG,&lpAddrBook);

//get Global Address List Container Interface pointer

BonHrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList(lpAddrBook, &lpGal);


//The IMAPIContainer::GetContentsTable method returns a pointer to the
container's contents table.
A contents table contains summary information about objects within
the container.

hRes = ((LPABCONT) lpGal)->GetContentsTable(0, &pTable);
//The contents table of an address book container lists information
about its messaging user and distribution list objects.

}




BOOL BonHrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList(LPADRBOOK lpAdrBook, LPMAPIPROP *lppAL)
{

// DESCRIPTION: Finds the global address list from the address book.

BOOL bRetVal = FALSE;
ULONG cbeid;
LPENTRYID lpeid = NULL;
ULONG ObjectType;

//HrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList ->retrieves the entry identifier of the global address list (GAL) container in the address book

HRESULT hRes = HrFindExchangeGlobalAddressList(lpAdrBook, &cbeid, &lpeid);

//Entry identifiers are pieces of binary data stored in an ENTRYID structure that are used to uniquely identify and open a MAPI object.

//OpenEntry->opens an address book entry and returns a pointer to an
interface that can be used to access the entry.

hRes = lpAdrBook->OpenEntry(cbeid, lpeid,NULL, MAPI_BEST_ACCESS,
&ObjectType,(LPUNKNOWN*) lppAL);

bRetVal = TRUE;

//Call the MAPIFreeBuffer function to free the property
tag array pointed to by lppPropTagArray

MAPIFreeBuffer(lpeid);

return bRetVal;

}
