Updating/Forcing AddressList/GAL on Office 365

Hello,

 

How automatically update Global addressList on Office 365 Exchange?

I found command Set-AddressList -Identity “All users” , but how create task scheduler ?

  • HelloTommy2070  !

    Do I understand you correctly that you have created an address list and want to make this show up for the users?

    Or do you want to automatically update an exisiting address list based on certain criterias ( for example  all users in a specific department should be a member of the address list ) 

    Thank you in advance! 
    Kind Regards

      I want to automatically update an exisiting address list (Offline Global AddressList) , because new employees at work occur after a period of time (on Outlook 365 client)

        Generally speaking there are 2 methods of updating an address list in Exchange Online 

        1. Create the address list before you create the users – then all new created users will show up, if they match the filter criteria.
        2. Update existing user’s attributes by re-setting a property in the mailbox (or in the user properties, if it’s f.e. a contact).

        So with this said, if you have an existing Address list and create  a new user that matches that address lists filter criterias, it should populate. 

         

        Or, am i  misstaking you and what you actually need assistans with is creating the address list itself?
