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

Create the address list before you create the users – then all new created users will show up, if they match the filter criteria.
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?

Kind Regards

Outlook Global address book work fine.
But (Offline address book ) outlook has no recent users , you need to wait up to 24h for it to renew.
That's why I was thinking of a faster upgrade

    Maybe there is a way to update automatically for the entire company?
