Distribution Group in Exchange 2007/Outlook 2007 Does not show up in Outlook GAL

Tags: Exchange 2007, Distribution Group, Outlook GAL, Outlook 2007
Using the Exchange Management Console, I add a distribution group.  Everything looks fine - I can add members, the distribution group has an email address.  But it does not show up in the Outlook global address list, and it does not show up in Active Directory Users and Groups.

Using AD Users and Groups, I add a distribution group.  Again, everything is fine, but it does not show up in the Exchange Management Console nor in Outlook.

However, I cannot add a group with the same name as a group that already exists, so it appears that Exchange and AD know about each other's groups even if they don't display.  

This was a trivially simple procedure in Exchange 2000;  how is it done in Exchange 2007?

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
