Modify GAL to Include External Email Addresses
Exchange 2007 current SP, Windows 2008 Server.
I work at a university, we have our student accounts created through FIM. The user account is created in our AD with an my.edu email address for the student. I would like to get those email accounts to automatically display in the GAL, they do not currently.
Is there a way to modify the GAL to include receipients with external email addresses? instead of just the user@univerity.edu, we want to include student@my.university.edu.
I know i create a new Address Book with external emails, but I am not sure how to change the default Address Book (I know all edits have to be by command line).
Any help would be appreciated!

The old process was to create a Contact but that has been changed to creating only a user account. If I go to a newly created account, hide/unhide, then the user will Display in the GAL without making a contact. I want to automate this process, so I figured including external email addresses in the GAL will resolve this. You can do this from the EMC but not for GAL.
looks like it can be done and there is also a Powershell script provided too.

This link is a manul process to export/import to the GAL. I want to change the properties to include external email addresses so that it dynamically upates.

Example of what I want to do for the GAL.

I guess what your saying is OAB not GAL ... as GAL is viewed in Outlook online and OWA\Webmail

No, I mean the Default Global Address Book. I want it to include external email addresses, not just Contacts.
