If you want to Search for contacts in the Global Address List you just need to set the SearchScope to ActiveDirectory see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa565329(v=exchg.150).aspx
eg
<soap:Header>
<t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2013_SP1" />
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<m:ResolveNames ReturnFullContactData="true" SearchScope="ActiveDirectory">
<m:UnresolvedEntry>smtp</m:UnresolvedEntry>
</m:ResolveNames>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The thing to keep in mind with this method is that it will only return a max of 100 entries. If you have a really large directory and have Exchange 2013 then use findpeople http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj191039(v=exchg.150).aspx instead
