Dynamic Distribution Groups not showing in GAL

I have added some Dynamic Distribution Group in our Exchange 2007 machine.
When I go into outlook, click TO and look thru the GAL, I do not see the DDG that I made.

I read over some other issues on here and none where directly the same as this.

I did verify the HIDE FROM GLOBAL ADDRESS LIST checkbox is NOT checked.

Can anyone tell me why they dont show?

Check Hide from GAL and apply.  Then Uncheck hide from GAL and apply.

Don't know why, but this has worked for me in the past in similar situations.

i just want to make sure, but can you check the gal using owa
Now, after I ran the command. I reopened Outlook and I see them.

Ideas?

it sounds like your client may be in cached made and you just got an updated copy of the oab
i tried from 2 other PCs without luck.

Going to Add a new Dynamic group and see how long it takes to show, if it does.
does the group appear when using outlook web access
Appears they are showing up right away.
Unsure as to why but after running the command it started working.
