Perhaps using custom Address lists / OAB's you could achieve this.

The article above relates to using Exchange 2007 for shared hosting and touches on GAL segmentation. Perhaps this may be relevant for you.

Think this is your answer, doesn't look like it is possible:

nope seems to only apply to exchange 5.0 and 5.5 .... yet i am running 2007 exchange server
Also, depending on how big your organization is, you could go into each user and hide them from the GAL...
yeah but not from the default GAL ... thats the one i am having this issue with
You have more than one GAL???
The msexchange article would do what you need I believe but its long-winded.

There does not appear to be a simple way I'm afraid.

It is quite alright to have multiple GALs in Exchange 2007.

hmm maybe when exchange 2010 comes out they will let you easier choose what users can and can not see.
thanks for everyones input.
There is no change in this functionality in Exchange 2010.
