Hiding a mail enabled security group from the gal?

Howdy,

I had to mail enable a Security group so we could use that group as a member of a distribution list.  However, I don't want the security group to show up in the address book by itself.  Is there a way to hide that group so it doesn't show up if people search for it?

Thanks.

Try running this PS command, then try the set-distributiongroup command again:

add-pssnapin "exchange" -erroraction silentlycontinue

There's also a check box in the EAC that say "Hide this group address lists" essentially the check box form of the powershell command :)
