MOSS 2007, sharepoint people search
s it possible to hide some people (top management) from people search results. For example: Exchange has function that prevents some peoples account to show in GAL. How can that be done in sharepoint people search.

Someone may have a better idea, but I would start by trying to exclude them from the People audience in the SSP. Are you familiar with audiences, the SSP, etc?
- As far as I know, audience isn't security solver, just to hide or show elements. Even so, that would be good enough for now but if I create audience I don't see how to apply them to people search results.
Duh, you're right. If I had been thinking straight, I would have said the People scope, not audience.
I would try to add an "exclude rule" to the existing People scope via SSP search settings.
Excluded users should not show up in search results but still have the ability to access mysites.
that seems lika a good idea. But under people scope I haven't got any ideo what to enter as parameters. This is the current settings:
urn:content-class
PSPeople -->and that is includedI supose that here I should create rule that excludes some people from search results. But, what arguments should I use.
You're right, create a rule that excludes upper level managers that should not appear.
If you play around with the options, it should be fairly obvious.
I tried the following:
inside people scope I created rule:
exclude accountname=domain\username
But it is still showing in search results.
May be a dumb question, but did you re-compile the audience?

Web site @ http://paulgalvin.spaces.live.comHi,
Was this ever sorted out?
I am having the exact same problem.
The CEO of our company has two accounts on the GAL - one for when he is in one region and one in the other region. I want it to only include the one from the second region.
I have added an exclude rule to the scope (with it one account name: domain/username)
I have completed a full crawl
And the results are still showing up...
Please help...
- How about excluding the mySite from the search results
From Central Admin, choose your site
Under Search, choose search settings
Under Crawl Settings, choose search result removal
Now, open another IE window, go to MOSS, search for the user, and click the link of the user you want to exclude from search results
copy the URL
paste the URL into the "URL's to Remove" field
This should instantly cause the user to be excluded from any search results Try to find a field that ties the accounts you don't want to show in the search resultss, and exclude them from the people search.
