New Exchange Mail Contact doesn't show up in Global Address List

check if the outlook is in cache mode.
also check from OWA.

Can you verify that you did not check off "hide this address from Exchange address lists"?

Also, did you download another copy of your GAL?

check if the outlook is in cache mode.

Not sure how to do that.

also check from OWA.

I can see it in OWA under Default Global Address List, but not in Outlook - To - Global Address List.

Can you verify that you did not check off "hide this address from Exchange address lists"?

This is not Checked.

Also, did you download another copy of your GAL?

Not sure how to do that, so I don't thing I did.

If you see it in OWA, then you need to download GAL.

In Outlook, go to tools send/Receive and select Download address book.

I downloaded most recent Address Book and I still cannot see new contact.

I can see new contact in a distrubution group I added the user to, but not in Global Address List. The Global Address list is where all users are created in by default?

I also checked on another PC and same results.

Did you create this contact in Outlook?
If so, then when you click on the address book, change it from the GAL to your Outlook contacts.

No. It was created in EMC.

Try the following:

Update-GlobalAddressList - Identity "address list" -DomainController "domain controller name"

You should be able to run it like this as well:

Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity <GlobalAddressListIdParameter> -DomainController

[PS] C:\Users\nimda\Desktop>Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity <GlobalAddressLis
tIdParameter> -rapa.local
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.

.local
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (<:OperatorToken) [], ParentContain
   sErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported

Run that command as shown below.

Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Global Address List"

[PS] C:\Users\nimda\Desktop>Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Global Address L
ist"
Update-GlobalAddressList : The operation could not be performed because object

FYI - Before I did what you said they both were not the same.

I then did step three and BINGO!!!!!!! YOU R THE EXPERT!!!!!!!

What happened?

You list just needed to be updated. This would have happened automatically, but you obviously needed it done sooner, and thus the force update.
