I have some contacts appearing in my default GAL which I dont want. Each contact has the word "exclude" under the company attribute. Then created a custom address list to include these contacts and that works great. I dont want to exclude all contacts.

I need help with powershell script to edit the default GAL to exclude the contacts that have "exclude" under the company attribute.

Please help!!!

set-globaladdresslist -identity "Default Global Address List" -recipientfilter "company -ne 'exclude'"

Hi Darren,

You can create a new address list in exchange server 2013

Go to ECP

click Organization -> click  Address Lists 

Here you can create new global address list ,add rules,add attributes and enable options according to your wish.

Hope this info helps.

Hi,

By default, we cannot modify the recipient filter of default GAL. To temporarily modify the default GAL, please refer to the following steps:

1. Open the ADSI Edit, and expand each of the following items:

Configuration Partition | CN=Configuration | CN=Services | CN=Microsoft Exchange | CN=<Organization Name> | CN=All Global Address List | CN= Default Global Address List

2. Right click Default Global Address List and set the msExchRecipientFilterFlags value to 0.

3. Run the command:

set-globaladdresslist -identity "Default Global Address List" -recipientfilter {((Alias -ne $null) -and (Company -ne "exclude") -and ((ObjectClass -eq 'user') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'contact') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'group') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder')))}

4. After that, change the attribute msExchRecipientFilterFlags value to 3.

Best Regards.

Thanks I have created a new list, which works fine. Any way to hide the Default global Address List?

Hi,

Address Book Policy should be what you need.
