Remove entries from Global Address List

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to remove entries such as orcladmin, portal_admin, sysadmin and other system accounts from the Global Address List? It would be nice to remove them from the GAL, but I don't want to change the functionality of each account. Thanks for the help.

Nevermind, I figured it out. If you add the line "gal_enableldapsearch = FALSE" to the "[ENG]" section of the calendar server configuration file, it will only put calendar users in the GAL and not search OID for users.

Excluding disabled and expired users from Global Address List

There showed a request in my company to remove expired user accounts from the GAL. Is there any way to do it in the filter rules of the GAL? I would practicaly like to exclude them from GAL when they are expired, and include them in the GAL when enabling
them again, but in an automatic way. Is there any method existing to do that? We are using Exchange Server 2003.
Thanx,
Kristian

Hi,
To hide from the address list, you can follow the steps below to get this.
1. Open ESM, expand Recipients.
2. Click on All Global Address Lists, in the right hand pane right click
Default Global Address List and go to Properties.
3. In the Default Global Address List Properties, click preview.
4. Scroll through a list of users to choose the user you want to hide, right click and go to Properties.
5. Under the Exchange Advanced tab, check "hide from Exchange address lists"

Hiding users from Global Address List in Exchange 2010

I am attempting to hide users no longer in our company from our GAL. I have been trying to do this through Active Directory. I verified the 'hide from Exchange address list' in AD is checked for these users, but they still shows up. On
my own PC I deleted the *.oab files and downloaded the offline address book again, but it still shows. I also checked OWA and they show in there as well.
Is there anywhere else that would hold these? I have searched but could not find much related to this. We are running Exchange 2010 SP1.
Any help would be appreciated.

Get users from Global Address List (GAL) using FindPeople operation of Office 365

I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation. If I perform any search by giving value in the <QueryString> element, I get result from both GAL + My Contacts but if I remove the QueryString, I am forced to provide folder name in which
to search else I get "Internal error" resonse.
Is there any way I can retrieve/browse all the users in GAL ?

>> I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation
How big is your GAL ? the problem with using a QueryString if you want all users is even if you use a string like SMTP: this will only return the first 100 entires in the GAL. There is a note in the link Laeeq posted that states " When
searching the GAL as the primary search folder, you must specify a query string instead of a restriction, because this operation does not allow for browsing of the GAL."
One way you can use to browse the GAL using this operation is to use the Guid of the Gal (or other address list you want to browse) you can get the Addresslist guid using the Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996579(v=exchg.150).aspx and then you can use code like
FindPeopleType fpType = new FindPeopleType();
IndexedPageViewType indexPageView = new IndexedPageViewType();
indexPageView.BasePoint = IndexBasePointType.Beginning;
indexPageView.Offset = 0;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturned = 100;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturnedSpecified = true;
fpType.IndexedPageItemView = indexPageView;
fpType.ParentFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
DistinguishedFolderIdType contactsFolder = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
AddressListIdType adList = new AddressListIdType();
adList.Id = "2117949e-abe8-4915-91eb-9999f867fd8de";
fpType.ParentFolderId.Item = adList;
FindPeopleResponseMessageType fpm = null;
do
fpm = esb.FindPeople(fpType);
if (fpm.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
foreach (PersonaType PsCnt in fpm.People) {
Console.WriteLine(PsCnt.EmailAddress.EmailAddress);
indexPageView.Offset += fpm.People.Length;
else {
throw new Exception("Error");
} while (fpm.TotalNumberOfPeopleInView > indexPageView.Offset);

Global Address List Not Updating in Outlook

I have a question from user about Global Address Not updating in Outlook. We have a user whom name was changed, how ever his new name didn't appeared on Global Address List in Outlook client
I did explained to him that Outlook require about 48 hours to reflect a new update Global Address List then he asked me why previously (24 hours) his old name also disappear from Global Address List.
Could you please advice.

Hi,
Please check whether the new name is updated in Global Address List when the user accesses his mailbox from OWA and Outlook Online mode.
If the new name is also not changed in GAL for OWA, please refer to bawzman's suggestion to run cmdlets to update globel address list in Exchange server.
If the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, the issue should be related to Offline Address Book which is used for Cached mode as Globle Address List. We can manually download it and update the address list by clicking Send/Receive > Send/Receive
Groups > Download Address Book to have a try.

Is there a way to remove Exchange global address list from phone/Mail app?

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3. Wondering if there is a way I can prevent an Exchange global address list from loading when I compose a message. I am only syncing Mail - not contacts or calendars. Also tried dropping and re-adding account to see if that did anything. This is a personal phone connected to company's Exchange account (legitimately) - I would like to reduce the chance that I incorrectly email a company employee from my personal account when composing a message.

That is what I expected Chris, but to answer your question - yes. I have two accounts setup with the Mail app - Gmail and Exchange. Gmail is the default even. When I am in the Gmail account, compose a new message, just typing "john" for example, brings up most recently used john's first, then all the Johns in my company. I really would prefer not to even have those names populate. Not sure if that can be prevented without dropping the Exchange mail account altogether. That is my question - and thank you for your reply.

Get name from Outlook Global Address List and other info

Hi, I hope somebody can help me. I'm new in Acrobat scripting so I need some more Help.
I have a link that executes a script that will send an e-mail message.
This is my script:
app.mailMsg(true,"[email protected]","[email protected]","","This is the subject","This is the body of the mail.");
I noticed that when executing this script, Acrobat opened the Outlook Global Address List to verify the e-mail accounts; which is great.
Now, I'd like to know if there is a command that does this:
1. (before opening Outlook new message window) Open a window asking for the recipient e-mail address.. with the possibility to get it from the Outlook Global Address Book
2. Open a second window asking the same as above but putting the e-mail address in the "CC" field.
2. Finally, the New Message window appears with the "to", "cc", "subject" and "body" fields filled.
I'd really appreciate your help.
Also.... is there any other command to get date and hour in a variable?
Thanks :)

Hey Cristian,
I'm interested in your link script. How do you use it? In what program are you and where do you put the actual script?
Thanks,

Exchange 2013: Problem with Default Global Address List after migration

I just completed a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. The 2007 box has been decommissioned just last week. I have been seeing weird issues with our offline addressbook and global address list, since the migration, but always thought
it was related to Ex2007. Well the issues still exist and here's what i've found so far:
1. If any user goes to Schedule Appointment in Outlook, and they click the Rooms button (on the Scheduling Assistant page), we get a LONG wait (about 5 mins or more) and then an error that says: "The operation could not be completed because
an offline address book is not available. Download a copy of the offline address book." When i click OK, the address book is up, with the "All Rooms" list showing blank (we have 3 rooms in Exchange currently).
2. Now if I go to the Address Book in Outlook it opens to the GAL and it's up to date... I can also force an update to the offline address book after adding a new group or entry, so i know offline address books are being updated properly and
working. HOWEVER, if i go to any of the other address lists (besides Contacts and GAL) under All Address Lists (All Contacts, All Groups, All Rooms, All Users and Public Folders) I get the same error given above: "The operation could not be
completed because an offline address book is not available. Download a copy of the offline address book."
3. I went to the Exchange 2013 EAC and went to Organization -> Address Lists. Everything under here said 'NO' under the Up-to-Date column. When i looked at the properties on each list, and clicked save, I had to update to the new version.
After doing this, the Up-to-Date column said 'YES'. I could do all lists EXCEPT for the GAL. It still says 'NO'
4. The last thing i did was set my Outlook to NOT be in cached mode. This should give me a direct connection to the GAL and all lists, if I'm not mistaken... So when i do this, I cannot even open see the GAL. The ONLY option in the
Address Book that comes up is Contacts (which are my personal ones).
5. I just now ran Get-GlobalAddressList | fl in powershell on the Ex2013 server. I see some things that make me wonder... First; nothing in the RecipientFilter field, however, there is something in the LdapRecipientFilter field.
Second; the RecipientFilterType field says "Legacy". and Third; the RecipientFilterApplied field says "False".
Didn't know what these should all be, but it appears maybe this is the cause of all my issues?? Can someone help me out here.. even if i have to recreate a new GAL, i'm fine with that, I just don't know all the steps to do so. I just need it
to work!
Thanks

Hi,
In my opinion, it is better to confirm whether the GAL is good, first.
How about the GAL working in OWA?
If GAL working well in OWA, it seems the issue on the Outlook Client or Connectivity side.
Please trying to run Outlook on the safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall for testing.
Please follow the steps as below to narrow down the OAB issue.
Following are the locations that .lzx files in CAS server and BMX server:
CAS:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB
MBX:
C:\Program Files\Micorosft\Exchange Server\V15\ExchangeOAB
Please verify whether the .lzx files update to the latest.
1. If the .lzx files in MBX server not update to the latest.
It should be an issue on the OAB generation side.
2. If the .lzx files in MBX server is latest, but CAS server not.
It should be a distribution issue.
1) Please run Get-OabVirtualDirectory command in EMS to verify whether at least one OAB VD exist in the org. If not, please create a new one.
2) Please make sure whether any setup for Web Distribution. Selecting the “Enabling an Offline Address Book for Web Distribution” checkbox.
3) Please force restart File Distribution services to distribute OAB files manually.
3. If the .lzx files in MBX server and CAS server are all update to the latest.
It should be the connectivity between CAS server and Client issue.
1)Please verify the network.
2)Please check DNS, MX, etc. configuration.
3)Please run “Test E-mail AutoConfiguration” to check the AutoDiscover details.
   Please make sure the OAB URLs are correct.
   If the OAB URLs are incorrect, please using following command to re-set them:
   Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "ServerFQDN\OAB (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl
https://www.contoso.com/OAB -InternalUrl
https://mail.contoso.com/OAB
4)Please checking the App log and finding solutions from Microsoft Technet articles or KB, according to the Event ID.
5)If it still not working after performing the methods above unfortunately, please trying to re-build OAB Virtual Directory.
   Article for reference:

Outlook / Oracle Global Address List

Just a couple of quick questions regarding manipulating the Global Address List.
Firstly, is it possible to hide an entry that exists in the Oracle Directory Service from the GAL (for example, removing the orcladmin user from the address book).? Also whats the best way to expose an Alias to the GAL? We use aliases, coupled with a server side rules, to deliver mail to shared folders and would like the aliases visible in the address book to all users.
On an unrelated point, is it possible to automatically un-hide new shared folders within the outlook connector? (i.e. instead of having to go to the properties for Shared Folders and manually un-hiding them on each users machine, can it be done administratively, remotely?)
Thanks.

Hello
I don't know if you can do LDAP with VBA, but the OCS directory can be querried that way.

Exchange 2007 Global Address List

I connect to my organisations Exchange 2007 server.
My address book syncs for my personal contacts, appearing in address book as a brown book icon with an @ symbol.
However, there is also a blue book icon with an "i" on it. When I click on it, in the right hand pane appears "Search [organisation] global address list", but there are no entries.
I can access the global address list either through Outlook Web Access (OWA) or Outlook (on a PC), so I know there are entries there. On OWA, my personal entries appear in Contacts, whereas the global address list appears on OWA in address book.
Any tips on how to access the global address book from within Address Book on Mac?
Thanks in advance.

Further update, if I do a search whilst "Search [organisation] global address list" is displaying, it does search the global address list and bring up results from it.

IOS Global Address List search issues

We are having some problems searching for some users in the Global Address list on Office 365 from iOS devices. The only way to make them show up is to add a space after their name...so if I'm trying to find "Joe" I have to type in: Joe followed by a space in order to find him. However, not all recipients in the GAL are exhibiting this behavior, some can be found by just typing in their first name. I can type in "jake" and find all users, but if I type in "joe" it comes up with nothing.
I've verified there's no space after these user's name in AD, has anyone else seen this issue?
I have a post over on the Office 365 forums as well, but they suggested to reach out over here too.
Thanks!
-jake

Was able to resolve this with Microsoft Support for any that may have this issue too. Apparently iOS has a minimum 4 character entry when searching the GAL, so names like Joe, Bob, Ron, etc. will not show up until you "enter" a 4th character in the form of a space.
Assuming this is an issue with all Exchange setups, but this was on Office 365 so your results may vary. Interesting that this is not the case on OS X where 3 character GAL searches are fine.

Accessing global address list

Hi,
We have Outlook 2003 installed with the Collaboration Suite and Outlook Connector. In Outlook VBA I am trying to access the Oracle global address list with MAPI. This takes about 20 minutes to return the selected recipients from the address list (we have 11000 entries). Is there another way to access the global address list? Where are the users stored? Are they stored in a table of the oracle database I could query with sql?
I'm sorry if my questions are naive, I am quite new in this business :).
Thanks for any answers in advance.

Why is a 'globe' contact available in Global Address List (which belongs to AD), but I cannot find it on AD server?

I have a topic at link:

Please see the post first.
I dot not make sense about why a 'globe' contact is available in Global Address List (which belongs to AD), but I cannot find it on AD server? I think the cause relates to Exchange server.
Could you give me an explaination!
Thanks advance.

Mail contacts
Mail contacts typically contain information about people or organizations that exist outside your Exchange organization. Mail contacts can appear in your organization’s shared address book (also called the global address list or GAL) and other address lists,
and can be added as members to distribution groups. Each contact has an external email address, and all email messages that are sent to a contact are automatically forwarded to that address. Contacts are ideal for representing people external to your Exchange
organization (in the shared address book) who don't need access to any internal resources. The following are mail contact types:
Mail contacts These are mail-enabled Active Directory contacts that contain information about people or organizations that exist outside your Exchange organization.
Mail forest contacts These represent recipient objects from another forest. These contacts are typically created by directory synchronization. Mail forest contacts are read-only recipient objects that can be updated or
removed only by means of synchronization. You can't use Exchange management interfaces to modify or remove a mail forest contact.
