showInAddressBook attribute
I am looking for a bit of expertise on Exchange attributes. I have a user who is reporting he is not appearing in the GAL. He is not hidden according to Exchange. His mailbox is there. It can...
#Mailbox not hidden from Addressbook
Get-Mailbox -Identity noreply | fl *hid*
HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled : False
#AD Attribute
msExchHideFromAddressLists = NotSet
#Hide Mailbox from Addressbook
Set-Mailbox -Identity noreply -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true
Get-Mailbox -Identity noreply | fl *hid*
HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled : True
#AD Attribute
msExchHideFromAddressLists = TRUE
It takes a while until Outlook has the updated Offline Addressbook.
Sometimes it helps to Download the Offline Addressbook in Outlook: "Send/Receive" > "Send/Receive Groups" > Download Addressbook
Kind Regards
