hide exchange 2003 distribution lists from GAL for certain users only.
We are getting a request to hide certain DLs from the GAL for certain groups of people. For example; we created a DL of doctors and they only want certain users to be able to see that DL and no one else.I havemessed withthe "Hide group from Exchange address lists" attribute on the DL and that hides the DL for everyone, which doesn't resolve our issue. Iwas wondering if anyone has run into this request and how you would go about doing this. Weare able to play with the security permisions on the DL andkeepusers from seeing the membership, etc. of the DL but not make is disappear. Thanks

Hi, Not sure that it is possible to hide the list for certain users. Is it really necessary to hide it - you can remove the possibility to send mail to it unless you are a member of a selected group(s). Leif

Have the users make local DLs instead of using the GAL

i have done this a long time ago and i dont remember exactly but in the security tab of the group remove "authenticated users" and add the group that you want them to see this group withthe samepermission that "authenticated users" had. write it down somewhere i think this would do the trick.
