It would if it worked. But it doesn't seem to remain hidden from the GAL. Why, I don't know, maybe because it is the GAL? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 1:46 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: GAL usage http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Doug Would it not simply be a case of checking the checkbox "Hide from address list" on the Exchange Advanced tab for the user and group rather than creating a new Address List.

I need to be able to hide specific users & groups from the Global Address List. I found a website on it at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300121 (How to Programmatically Create a GAL in Exchange 2000 Server) BUT, It's very hard for me to translate into an easy to read format. Has anyone done this? I created a new Address list in the "Global Address List." Folder in Exchange manager, but it doesn't show up in Outlook. I'm Stumped. I can have it as a different address list, but the users who need to be hid would still showup in the GAL. HELP Please!!! Doug Stelley Asst. Network Admin.
