    I am using this:

    Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase "ou=you,ou=OU..." | 
    	Set-ADUser -replace @{msExchHideFromAddressLists=$true}

    I can do it for 1 person, but can do it for all users in the OU. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I would suggest:

    Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=you,ou=OU..." | ForEach-Object {
    Set-ADUser -Identity $_.sAMAccountName -Replace @{msExchHideFromAddressLists=$True}
}

    The code without a line break would work.

    Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase 'ou=you,ou=OU...' | Set-ADUser -replace @{msExchHideFromAddressLists=$true}

    You cannot have a double line break after a "pipe".  It will cause an error.  YOU can have one line break but you have two.

    Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase 'ou=you,ou=OU...' |
     Set-ADUser -replace @{msExchHideFromAddressLists=$true}

    Who do people tend to use set-aduser and replace command, instead of  using cmdlet which has the parameter to do the job? (Set-Mailbox -hiddenFromAddressListsEnabled:$False, which will also correctly clear showinaddressbook attribute)

    Exchange CmdLets are not necessarily available in all deployments.

    What would be the most efficient way to ensure the flag is set only on disabled account. Is it to modify get-aduser to only return disabled, or put it in the loop?

    Would be most efficient to filter on the PowerShell property Enabled. Instead if using "-Filter *", use:

    Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $False}
