Hi,

I created a new GAL using New-GlobalAddressList command , it executed finely. Now i want to add contacts to that perticular GAL. How can i do that. In more detail i have multiple GAL's like GAL1 , GAL2 , GAL3 . I want to import contacts to GAL1 only and those contacts will not be accessible by GAL2. Suggest me a solution in powershell.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply... My problem is i want to add a contact to GAL1 . Lets assume i have a mail contacts as Mailcontact1 , Mailcontact2 , Mailcontact3 etc. Now i want to add the Mailcontact3 to GAL1 . How can i do that in powershell? Also is this contacts will be visible in other GAL as well?

You can assign an custom attribute to GAL1, i.e.

Set-GlobalAddressList GAL1 -ConditionalCustomAttribute11 GAL1

For whichever recipient you want it to be appeared in GAL1, set the custom attribute 11 as 'GAL1'.

In that case how can i access my global address list in Exchange admin ?

Are you even reading, Li already mentioned that twice. Just Bing and you will be suprised how smart search engines have become over the years.

Li mentioned like you can get that list in "organization -> address list" but i am not able to see it. I added GALs almost 2 days back.

In organization menu i have only "Sharing" and "Add-ins". Not have any "addresslist" thats why i am asking.

Hi,

In Exchange online, we cannot use the EAC to manage address lists, we must use the Shell.

Manage address lists

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj983798%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Configure global address list properties

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232068%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Use the Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet to return all the attributes of a global address list (GAL) or a set of GALs.

By the way, Exchange Online Forum is a better place for question about Exchange online.

Best Regards.
