Hide O365 mail contact from GAL using CSV and powershell

How to Hide O365 mail contact from GAL using CSV list and powershell

 

tried below but is looking for identity

 

Import-Csv c:\csv\disable.csv|%{Set-MailContact -Name $_.Name -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true}

 

  • That's because you are using the -Name parameter, which is to change the Name attribute of the user, not to designate him as a subject to the Set-MailContact cmdlet. Use this instead:

     

    Import-Csv c:\csv\disable.csv|%{Set-MailContact -Identity $_.Name -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true}

     

    And make sure you have a column "Name" in the CSV file.
