How to Remove or Add Columns to the global address book
How can I remove columns from the global address book? We'd like to use this as a convenient directory for people but there is some listed information that is not useful to us. For example, There is only one company so we could do withat that
field. End users also do not need to know the alias. However, we could benefit from having the description filed made available.

Hi,
As per my research and knowledge, I think it is not possible to customize the viewable information (such as Name, Business Phone, Office, Title,
Company and Alias), and it is by design. However, the properties displayed for users, groups, contacts and Public folders can be changed using the following article,

And if you are using Outlook 2007, maybe the article below will help you.
