Hi ,

I want to workout the following solutions for GAL like

Get - GAL

Add - GAL

Update- GAL

Remove - GAL

Can anybody help on how can i do that through powershell? When i searched for existed commands like "Get-Command *GetAddress* " i didn't get any cmdlets related to Global Address List.

Is Get-MsolUser for GAL as well? I am in confusion.

Hi,

Take a look here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996579(v=exchg.150).aspx

Commands are:

Get-GlobalAddressList

New-GlobalAddressList

Remove-GlobalAddressList

Set-GlobalAddressList

Thanks.

But all these commands not existed on my powershell? It is giving an error like command not recognized.

Hi,

I guess you may type wrong commands.

Please post the command you have typed here for further analysis.

Also add the detailed error message you have seen.

I am executing the following command

Get-GlobalAddressList

Getting the below error message.

Get-GlobalAddressList : The term 'Get-GlobalAddressList' is not recognized as
the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1

Thanks

Hi,

I ran the command ,you can see the below result:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-GlobalAddressList

Name                                                        RecipientFilter
----                                                        ---------------
Default Global Address List                                 ((Alias -ne $null) -and (((ObjectClass -eq 'user') -or (...

Note: You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you.

So I suggest you can use the adiminstorator role to test.

Add the user account to the Organization Management group in AD. Note that this gives them full rights in Exchange 2013. More information is here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150492(v=exchg.150).aspx

You need these permissions to manage the GAL and run the *-GlobalAddressList cmdlets. 

If you want to view only, you can use the View-Only Management role group instead.

Let me know if that sorts this out for you.

Thanks.

Hi,

These statements are executing finely when i run through powershell command prompt. But getting an error while executing them from c# code. Here is the code i wrote.

RunspacePool runspacePool = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspacePool();
            powershell = PowerShell.Create();
            powershell.RunspacePool = runspacePool;
            command = new PSCommand();
            command.AddCommand("Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned");
            command.AddScript("Import-PSSession");
            command.AddParameter("Session", result[0]);
            command.AddParameter("CommandName", new[] { "Get-GloabalAddressList", "Get-MailboxStatistics" });
            command.AddParameter("ErrorAction ", "SilentlyContinue ");


            powershell.Invoke();

Getting an error like

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Management.Automation.PSInvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Management.Automation.dll " "

How can i overcome this error? Is there any wrong in my code?

When i run another command like GET-MAILUSER it is giving the following error in powershell.

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'myemail@myemailcloud.com' couldn't be found on 'SN1PR10A002DC06.NAMPR10A002.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM'.     + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-MailUser], ManagementObjectNotFoundException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=SN1PR10MB0800,RequestId=25c5f9c0-2b1b-46bd-b6d3-b710be2bfbb6,TimeStamp=9/3/2015 1:17:47 PM] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ManagementObjectNotFoundException] 891455E7,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.GetMailUser     + PSComputerName        : ps.outlook.com

Hi,

I am not familiar with code , if you have some question about code, I suggest we can ask a question for more help in Microsoft Exchange Development forum :

Thank you for your understanding.
