Hiding/Controlling contacts in Address Book for users

We just started to roll out Lync to a small set of test users. It seems that their address book populates with AD Groups and Suggested Contacts from their local Outlook. Is there a way to control it so that those will not appear? I would just like for them to type the letter 'a' and *only* see Lync-enabled users that start with (or contain) the letter 'a'.
All of these extra addresses are throwing the users off since they can't actually communicate with them, esp. suggested contacts that aren't even always valid addresses.

Hi you can use the absconfig tool from the c ressource kit to configure some Special Settings to hide contacts in the global addressbook for Lync.
Here is a short link

and you can use the clientpolicy for lync with Special Parameters like ExcludedContactFolders to disable the search in outlook
