There is a curious problem with my Exchange 2007. I create a new user and I try to configure this user on outlook I receive an error message saying that this user doesn’t exists on the address list. However, if a click on the “hide from exchange address list” and then click again disabling, this user appear on the address list. Someone know what’s happening ? Regards Wilson NF

How long after you create the mailbox are you trying to use it? Do you have more than one Global Catalog server? Do you have more than one AD site? It could be nothing more than AD replication delay. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich I have 4 AD Site each one with its global catalog server. Today I've tryed other ways to resolve this problem. I've discovered when I run update-addresslist, the user appears on the GAL. I agree with you . maybe it's a problem Ad replication delay. Do you know how can I configure the interval time update of GAL on Exchange 2007 ? Regards, Wilson NFNadim

I think the replication between AD sites happens every 15 minutes. I didn't say AD replication was a problem, I meant that it may be that you simply need to wait a little while after creating the mailbox before you try using it. I wouldn't change the interval. I'd just wait. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, The minimum interval of AD Replication is 15 minutes. If the interval exceeds the time allowed by the schedule, replication occurs once at the scheduled time.
