Exchange 2007 Address book Distribution List segregation
Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2007 the client wants to hide the distribution lists from the GAl but wants the to appear in the all address, all groups list. Has anyone done this and or can it be done?Preston Thornhill pthornhill@fusionstorm.com

Hi Preston, You can use ADSIEDIT.MSC to modify the properties of DL. Default naming context->DC=domain,DC=com-> OU Right click the DL-> Properties->Attributes->showInAddressBook Remove the CN=Default Global Address list,...Frank Wang

you could be a little more specific on this. This will hide the dl's in the gal and only list them in the groups list?Preston Thornhill pthornhill@fusionstorm.com

Hi Preston, Yes. This will hide the dl's in the gal and only list them in the groups list. In other words, if you remove the specified value of the ShowinAddressBook, the DL will be hided in specified container. You may test it in your lab first. Please also make a full backup of AD data.Frank Wang

Hi Preston, Any updates? Please check the msExchHideFromAddressLists as Rich said. It should be "not set". You can also change it using EMC->Recipient Configuration->Distribution Group->DL's Properties->Advanced->clear "Hide Group from Exchange address lists".Frank Wang
