Turns out that Exchange's Global Address List uses a different port,
3268! So no root access is needed! I found this out be doing a strace
on the evolution-exchange-storage process.

So for the complete solution for those who have the Exchange server
and OWA setup for for some reason the Global Address list is not also
available, but you have ssh access to your net, here is the solution:

1) In Evolution set the Global Catalog server name to local host
2) use -L 3268:GAS:3268, where GAS is your Global Access Server (most
likely your AD server)

Thanks all for the help.
