    Hi There,

    I have some user accounts in AD that DO NOT have exchange accounts associated with them.  Some have in the past and some were created with out one.  I am trying to hide them from the address book with ADSIEDIT and it doesnt seem to be working. 

    I set MSExchHideFromAddressLists = True and removed any values that might have been in proxyAddresses.

    All users that have exchange accounts i was able to hide from the console, however everyone that doesnt have a mailbox seems to be still there...soooo frustrating.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks,

    Jen

    Hi,
    Look for the attribute showInAddressBook and remove any entries that you find there.

    Hi,

    users without a mailbox aren´t listet in the addressbook. But the addressbook is not actualized each time a useraccont changes. So you have to wait for aproximatlly  one day or update the addressbook manually.

    In order to update the addressbook

    Update-AddressList -Identity "<name of addresslist>"

    in order to update the offline Addressbook

    Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "<name of offlineaddressbook>"

    Your Welcome!  :)

    Note: When you create a new user by using another one as a copy, don't choose one that has a mailbox because the new account will get some exchange attributes, like showInAddressBook for example.

    Hi Jose,
    If you have the same problem as Jen (seeing users without a mailbox in the GAL), do check your template account and make sure it hasn't got any exchange attribute set.
