You Hide the contact from the GAL by doing the following...<br />
- Open ADUC<br />
- Click Exchagne Advance Tab<br />
- Put a check mark in the Hide from Exchange Address list<br />
<br />
What you could do is create a public folder contact list say &quot;Hidden users&quot; and move move them to the public folder contact list before hiding them. Once they are moved you can hide them from the contact list. <br />
<br />
Just so you know once the email address is hidden from the GAL you will not be able to send email to this account.

Thank you. However, while I'm familiar with hiding the users, my question was how can I hide them from the GAL but show them in a separate Address list within the Address Book? For example, I have segregated users by departments within the Address Book. I do not want these users to show in the GAL, just in a separate area within the Address Book.
