If you hide a user account / distribution list from the GAL the full email address must be typed into the email for the exchange server to direct the email properly.

Hiding is just hiding from the address book.. It wont tamper any of the email functionality.<br />

Good luck<br />

No problem, just select the checkbox &quot;hide from address book&quot;. Like above answer, full e-mail address must be used for receiving. Another way is masking the GAL with security groups, so users can't see it, and make your own address list with the users you want to see.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if it is possible to hide users from the GAL, and still be able to send and receive emails on the hidden accounts. One of my colleagues said he was able to hide the email addresses, but after doing so there were issues sending and receiving emails on those accounts.<br />
<br />
Thanks

How do I Hide Users in GAL on Exchange and Still Send and Receive Email on the Hidden Accounts?

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

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
