Hi There,
I have some user accounts in AD that DO NOT have exchange accounts associated with them. Some have in the past and some were created with out one. I am trying to hide them from the address book with ADSIEDIT and it doesnt seem to be working.

I set MSExchHideFromAddressLists = True and removed any values that might have been in proxyAddresses.
All users that have exchange accounts i was able to hide from the console, however everyone that doesnt have a mailbox seems to be still there...soooo frustrating.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Jen

Hi,
users without a mailbox arent listet in the addressbook. But the addressbook is not actualized each time a useraccont changes. So you have to wait for aproximatlly one day or update the addressbook manually.
In order to update the addressbook
Update-AddressList -Identity "<name of addresslist>"
in order to update the offline Addressbook
Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "<name of offlineaddressbook>"

Hi,
Look for the attribute showInAddressBook and remove any entries that you find there.Martina Miskovic

Your Welcome! :)

Note: When you create a new user by using another one as a copy, don't choose one that has a mailbox because the new account will get some exchange attributes, like showInAddressBook for example.Martina Miskovic

Very interesting information Martina! I have a template with no e-mail.

Hi Jose,
If you have the same problem as Jen (seeing users without a mailbox in the GAL), do check your template account and make sure it hasn't got any exchange attribute set.Martina Miskovic
