Distribution List Not Showing in GAL

Question

Using the Exchange Management Console in 2007 I created a new Distribution List and added some users to it.   It is showing up under All Address Lists > All Groups.  But it is not showing up under the Global Address List. 
How can I get it to show up under the GAL?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please try below steps :
 following command in the Exchange Management Shell.  
Get-GlobalAddressList | Format-List Name,*RecipientFilter*,ExchangeVersion
This command lists detailed information on the Global Address Book.  To view information on all of the other address books on your Exchange 2007 server issue the following command:
Get-AddressList | Format-List Name,*RecipientFilter*,ExchangeVersion
Both of the above commands will display the following Address Book attributes:
Name
RecipientFilter
LdapRecipientFilter
LastUpdatedRecipientFilter
RecipientFilterApplied
RecipientFilterType
ExchangeVersion
If the RecipientFilterType is set to Legacy that means that the Address book has not been upgraded to the Exchange 2007 format.  
Below is the command that I ran to correct this issue:
Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq
'group' -or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))}
While all of our other Address Books had been upgraded, you will need to ensure that you upgrade all of the Address Books on your Exchange 2007 server.
