Upgrade Default Address Lists from LDAP

Hello,
I migrated from MS Exchange 2003 to 2010 some time back. Currently trying to upgrade the address lists as per the guide here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351283.aspx
When I run
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'))}I get the following error:what should I do? Thanks.

Hi Birenc,
the default Global Address List can be modified during the conversion from Exchange 2003. You won't be able to do it after that hence the error message.
1- Run Get-GlobalAdressList | fl and check the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value. I believe in your case this would be False.
2- To change this you would need to change the msExchRecipientFilterFlags attribute. you can do this via ADSIEDIT. Open ADSIEDIT connect to the Configuration container. Find the Default Global Address List and change the above attribute value from 3 to
0 and apply the changes. Then change it back to 3 and apply changes.
3- Run GlobalAdressList | fl again and the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value should now be true.
This should fix your issue.

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.

To get GAL of non default address book from multiple accounts in outlook

I have two domain accounts configured in my outlook, for example [email protected] and [email protected]
There are 2 address books (Please refer to the picture attached). I want to show user to SelectNameDialog by adding the recipients from non-default account's address book. But it adds the names to the selectnamedialog from the default address book and displays.
C# code : Outlook.SelectNamesDialog snd = app.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog();

ThankYou for your suggestion.

Setting the InitialAddressList property is the programmatic equivalent to selecting an AddressList from the drop-down list for Address Book in
the Select Names dialog box.
In its default state, InitialAddressList is the AddressList that has the property AddressList.IsInitialAddressList set
to True. IsInitialAddressList corresponds to setting Show this address list first in the Addressing dialog
box, which is available by clicking Tools, and then Options in the Address
Book dialog box.

Hide Custom Address List from GAL Exchange 2010 SP2

So, here is the scenario.
I have a list of contacts that I only want 12 users to be able to see. I have read up on the Address Book Policies, however, what I am REALLY wanting to do is to create an address list of the contacts, and hide THAT from the gal. I could then
create a new GAL/Address Book Policy that includes the new address list of contacts, and essentially make the GAL + Contacts address list visible to that group of 12.
Is this possible? It seems silly to apply a new Address Book Policy to 3000 users, would rather apply a new policy to the 12 users that need to see the contact info

Default address in "from" field?

I have 4 e-mail accounts that Mail checks. When I write an e-mail (that is not an answer) I want the "from" address to be my Mac account. Mail does not remember this.
If I LOOK in another mailbox, then Mail changes the "From" to be from that mail box account. How do I set the default to always be my Mac account??

Any way I can set the default "from" field based on the account I'm sending from?
I have two accounts defined: work and personal. Each account has 2 email addresses associated with it (as a comma-separated list in the "Email Address" field under "Account Information"). Let's call the email addresses work-A, work-B, personal-A, personal-B.
In the Composing prefs I can either select ONE default email address to send ALL mail from, or I can select to send from "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox", in which case Mail will choose a work email address if I'm in a work mailbox and a personal email address if I'm in a personal mailbox.
That second option is great, except I can't control which work email address it chooses - A or B. Changing the order of the email addresses in the Account Information->Email Address field has no effect - it consistently chooses the "wrong" one :-/
Any way I can use "Account of Last Viewed Mailbox" and still set a default mail address per account?

How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

How do I copy and paste an address list from an Excel file to an email on my iPad2?

Outlook Connector - Global Address list

Our Outlook hangs when we try to open the Global Address List from LDAP. This totally locks the computer.
What should be done to overcome the problem?

What do you see in the LDAP access log when you do this?
It's possible that your global list is returning more entries than your ldap is configured to allow, ad Outlook isn't happy with the results. It's also possible that the search is simply taking a loooong time.

Updating Global Address Lists and its corresponding attributes

What do these attributes have to do with the updating of global address lists?
1.msExchAddressBookFlags
2.msExchModerationFlags
3.msExchProvisioningFlags
and what exactly happens with showInAddressBook when hide from address lists are selected or unselected??

Hi,
1. MSExchAddressBookFlags attribute is a flag about the default address list to display for Outlook users address lists. When the value is set to 0, the user would set Contacts as the default address list, when the user opens Address Book, it firstly displays
user’s Contact.
2. MsExchModerationFlags attribute on the Distribution Group indicates if sending the auto approval to senders.
3. About the msExchProvisioningFlags attribute, there is no official article explaining it. Your understanding will be appreciated.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

CFExchange Accessing Global Address Lists

Is there a way to grab the global address list from exchange
with the new cfexchange tags? I can only seem to pull back contacts
for a specific user.
Thanks!
Joe

I suggest posting the problem again, this time in Getting Online and Networking. Make sure you indicate that you are on an external network, and include details of the LDAP server system. There are some serious experts there.
Also, you could try asking your network administrator to allow access from your ip address ...

Outlook 2002 address list with SUN JES 6

I found the performance problem to use Outlook 2002 to list my company address book from LDAP server ( approx. 16000 names ) . It take a long time to response back. It is Outlook problem or LDAP problem. We use JES 6.
Thanks

Well, first, neither of your problems are truly our area of expertise, here. We know Messaging Server, not Outlook nor Directory Server well.
I suspect, though, that I may have an answer for you. Here's how to tell:
1. Look at your Directory Server's Access Log. Specifically look for the ldap searches your Outlook clients are doing.
2. Look at the return for that search. Check two things:
A. etime= this is how long the search takes. If it's more than zero, then you have an LDAP performance issue.
B. NOTES=U. If you see this, your search is unindexed, and that's why it's taking so long. You need to index the things you're searching on, and that'll fix you right up.

Exchange 2010 New Address List insufficient access rights

Hi,
I have tried to perform two actions within our new Exchange 2010 system and they fail with the same error.
The first was to convert an existing Address Lists using LDAP to OPATH
I used the following command:
set-addresslist "Exchange 2010 Test" -recipientfilter {(recipienttype -eq "MailUniversalSecurityGroup") -or (recipienttype -eq "MailUniversalDistributionGroup") -and (name -like "exchange2010.*")}
I get the error Access is Denied Active Directory response 00000005: SecErr: DSID-031521D0, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
I also get the same error when I use the Exchange 2010 EMC to try and create a new address list. Note I have no problems managing address lists from Exchange 2003.
I have seen plenty of articles about the making sure that the user performing the action has the "Include inheritable permissions from this objects parent".
I did check my Exchange admin user and this was not ticked. Turns out that because I was also a domain admin so my account was in a protected group (Domain admins) the tick box was continually being removed.
I created a new Exchange user that was in the Exchange Organization Administrators security group, made sure the above box was ticked on the account but this did not fix the problem.
I have however noticed in Adsiedit that the "CN=All Address Lists" container does not have the "Include inheritable permissions from this objects parent" ticked. I suspect that this might be the issue but I don't want to tick it
in case it breaks my address lists.
Should the inherit box be ticked on the "CN=All Address Lists" container?. It is ticked on all the containers under the "CN=All Address Lists" container.
At present the only Exchange permissions on the container are:
Exchange Admins: Full Control
Exchange Domain Servers: Read
Exchange Services: Full Control
I think that crucially the "Exchange Trusted Subsytem" security group is not listed
I have added my new Exchange account with Full control permissions but this has not made a difference
Your hopefully
Matt

Hi Matt,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" should be checked.
2. "Exchange Trusted Subsystem" should be added to the All Address Lists container.
So you are in the right direction.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Disable Global address list suggestions when composing e mail

I got a question of one of my users a few days ago pointing out that when using an Iphone with Active Sync / Exchange synchronisation he is not able to disable e mail address suggestions he gets when typing the e mail address in the TO field comming from the Global Address list.
My user wants to use his personal contacts he uses in Outlook, but does not want to use the Global Address list from exchange. (at least not the automatic suggestions which pop up during typing an e mail in the TO / CC fields when composing an E mail.
I am able to disable this in the Contract app, but not in the E mail app in IOS.
It seems that when I enable to sync the contacts I get both the Personall contacts plus the Global Address list, there is no way to set any setting in regard to the contacts here.
I cannot find any setting which disables the phone of looking up the address I am typing in the Global Address list, having a verry big corporate global address list (we use this in our desktop / outlook environment) this can be verry annoying.
Anyone who can tell me if I can disable this (or not) and if so point me in the right direction ?
Thank you

What device do you have? And what is missing? You Compose a message, choose a name, then they have email addresses missing? or the contact is missing?
