Is there a way to customize the Global Address Book fields in outlook? I'd like to remove the Title field from displaying in the GAB.I was able to remove thefieldin theDetails Templates, but have been unable to find a way to edit the main global address book fields. Default is Name, Business Phone, Office, Title, Company, Alias, E-mail Type, E-mail Address.

Hi, GALs are displayed in the Microsoft Outlook Address Book on a client computer. Then, please understand that since the display type for Outlook is the default setting and cannot be manually changed. As we know, details Template Editor which is a Exchange tool can let administrator to customize the appearance of the object properties that are accessed by using address lists in MAPI 32-bit client applications, such as Microsoft Outlook. As my understanding of main global address book fields in your post, you want to Edit Active Directory Attributes, is that right?If it is not the case,please feel free to let me know. We can use ADSI Edit Tool to Edit Active Directory Attributes, Using ADSI Edit to Edit Active Directory Attributes http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124152(EXCHG.65).aspx Besides, we can change the permission on attributes you dont want to show in GAL. Dsacls.exe is a command-line tool that you can use to query the security attributes and to change permissions and security attributes of Active Directory objects. More information about this tool, please refer to the below article: How to Use Dsacls.exe in Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281146/en-us Note: 1.Please ensure that users work with outlook not in cache mode, for that they should use GAL other than Offline Address Book in local machine. 2. Please ensure that permission denied do not impact other application. Hope it helps. Xiu
