Certain users not showing up in Exch 2007 Default GAL
I inherited an Exchange 2007 environment. a few of our oldest users, like the CEO, don't show up in the GAL. It's only about 5 users out of like 50. I've done a bunch of research. These are the things i did and checked, in no specific order, based on various things I've read. I checked to make sure the users have the proper string values in the "showinAddressBook" setting for their accounts in AD. I made sure the TRUE is no present in the msExchHideFromAddressbook value in their accounts in AD. I ran the commands Update-EmailAddressPolicy -Identity "Default Policy" Set-Mailbox -ApplyMandatoryProperties -Identity (user) which responded no settings were changed. I checked the criteria used to populate the list Name RecipientFilter ---- --------------- Default Global Address List (Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'm sExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDy namicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group ' -or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder')) I read this article.. http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/management-administration/address-lists-exchange-2007-part1.html When i run the command Get-Recipient -Filter {AddressListmembership -eq $dnGAL} where $dnGAL is the default global address list, the users DO show up in the list. Any help is appreciated..

Just to make sure it's not a cached issue, these users don't show up in OWA?James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com
