Address Lists in MS Exchange 2007
I am trying to find out of a way where I can create a secondary Global List or similar, in Exchange where selected email enabled public folders can be added to. This is so that users can select from a list of mail enabled folders and then add this as a recipient I was able to create a new address list in through Exchange Console, but not able to populate with the above information

I also think it is better to create a new address list. But there is already an "Public Folders" address list which Recipients Filter is: (Alias -ne $null -and ObjectCategory -eq 'publicFolder' ) So you can add other properties to create custom adderss list using New-AddressList. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738155(EXCHG.80).aspxFrank Wang

Actually I have already created an new address list called 'Projects' - but seem to be unable to lift the email address values of mail enabled folders under the folder called 'projects' Is the following shell command correct: New-AddressList "Projects" -RecipientFilter {Alias -ne $null -and objectClass -eq 'projects'}

Try this New-AddressList "Projects" -RecipientFilter {Alias -ne $null -and objectClass -eq 'publicFolder'} after it run Update-AddressList "Projects" and then check.

Thanks for your help I carried this out but the address now also shows up in the GAL Yes by default mail enabeld public folders will be shown in Default GAL too. What is your intention here? Do u want to just show those public folders in your Custom Address list and not in Default GAL? RegardsLaeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

But that won't have just selected public folders. You could narrow the query based on some other attribute, but those kinds of things aren't exposed very well in public folder objects. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

I have tried both ways i.e. creating an address list and GAL, but they both only seem to work when I uncheck hide from Address List. Any other suggestions to make this work ? Regards

Hi, You can try to use ADSIEDIT.MSC to set the public folder property. run adsiedit.msc->domain->DC=domain,DC=com->CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects-> click one public folder->Properties->find Attribute: ShowInAddressBook, delete the value you don't want to display in. Please be more carefully to use adsiedit.msc to edit object. Frank Wang

I just want to show them in the custom address list and not in the default GAL Thanks Hi, You might know that by default all public folders are shown in Default GAL becuase of the Default GAL filter. So if you only want to show your public folders in custom address list and not in Default GAL then you can just create your custom address list as we have told you i.e. New-AddressList "Projects" -RecipientFilter {Alias -ne $null -and objectClass -eq 'publicFolder'} And now to hide all public folders from Default GAL you will have to change the recipient filter of Default GAL like this Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group'))} I have just removed "-or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'" from the default GAL filter. This will exclude all public folders from Default GAL. Regards,Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com
