Hide Group email from global address list
Setwart you can do so via PowerShell: Set-UnifiedGroup -Id Group -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $True
cfiessinger, is there a way to bulk hide private groups. The command listed below works for one at a time. Thanks!
Your best bet for accomplishing this en-masse is to export the groups via PS and put the ones you want to hide into a CSV or txt file with the ID or name, or Identity property. Then use get-content or import-csv and use set-unifiedgroup -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true property for them all at once.
Here's a CMDLET I use to do the export for my tenant. (more info than you need, but it's nice to have a complete report, as well as see all of the attributes you can manage)
