Hi!I have a script hiding users in a certain OU from address lists (ex 2007 Version 8.1 Build 240.6)get-mailbox -resultsize 3000 -Organizationalunit "OU=InactiveUsers,DC=company,DC=com" | where {$_.hiddenfromaddresslistsenabled -eq $false}|set-mailbox -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $trueThe script is able to check the hide from address lists setting (also confirmed via adsiedit), but they still appears in GAL, even after I run get-globaladdresslist | update-globaladdresslist If I manually check the setting off|on from exchange management console and run get-globaladdresslist | update-globaladdresslist the recipient is hidden from GAL...Anyone had similar problems?

There's nothing wrong with what you're doing -- but if you have morethan one domain controller it's quite possible that you're updatingthe information on one of them and looking at another when you use theEMC.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Ok - I will verify AD replication and do some more testing.Thanks!

Well, I've checked the replication and found no issues...A MIIS solution sets this property (hide from address lists) most of the times. My script was intended to set the property on the remaining few.I suspect something is done insufficiently during the MIIS processing.I noticed that several MIIS processed accounts with hide from address list enabled still was visible in GAL so I ran:get-mailbox -resultsize 3000 -Organizationalunit "OU=InactiveUsers,DC=company,DC=com" |set-mailbox -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $falseand thenget-mailbox -resultsize 3000 -Organizationalunit "OU=InactiveUsers,DC=company,DC=com" |set-mailbox -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $trueAnd now every account was hidden in GAL. So my script works perfectly.Our MIIS solution is going to be replaced during next month (ILM 2007) so I hope this issue disappears then.Thanks for all help.Øyvind
