Hide contacts form GAL but not from address list exchange 2010
I need to hide 15000 contacts from gal but not from address list in exchange 2010 please advice if this can be done and how
ASKER
tried hidding from gal alos hides from address list
Thats what i guess ...... very limited but can always tweek things :)
Hope you know how to work with ADSIEDIT
Go to ADISEDIT -> find user -> go to properties of the user in Adsiedit and check attribute "showinaddressbook" ...... there would be one or multiple just share the data with me .... will have to uncheck the "Hide from GAL option" and play with this attribute to get you a solution if possible.
