You just need another GAL that has a larger filter - basically the same as what you have now. As all the entires are visible in the GAL, you just need to change the filter and the permissions. <br />

Thank you. I have thought of that solution as well. I created a GAL and set a filter for Company Name, but It Lumps all User Names in one Gal. The Upper Management wants to be able to choose address lists by Branch name, but does NOT want the Branch users to even see the GALs. Quite Frankly I do not think there is even a way to do this.

I am working at a company with 15 branches. We have setup Exchange 2003 with Global Address Lists for each Branch deleted the Default Global Address List. Using a filter on each GAL, users at each branch default to their respective GAL and see only that address list in Outlook. This is working the way we want.<br />
<br />
We also want users at the Corporate Office to be able to See ALL the GALs. What is the best approach to do this?<br />
<br />
What we ultimately want is for All Branches to only see their respective Address List and for Corporate to See ALL Global Address Lists.<br />

Exchange Global Address Lists

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
