I create a second GAL and filter it to show the desired members but how to set the group to use this GAL as its default? how does other ppl do it when they have huge number of users in each department or group? tx -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

However, that will prevent them from seeing the complete GAL. Exchange always returns the largest GAL to Outlook as the default. -----Original Message----- From: rubix cube [mailto:rubixc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 6:36 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Adress book http://www.MSExchange.org/ Is there a way to seperate the address books of each group of users and set thier email client (Outlook 2003, Outlook 2000, OWA) to have the default address list to be the address list set for that group. For example Marketing have thier default address list to be members in the marketing group but if they drop down the address book they can see the other lists. or the GAL different for each group? thx
