Hiding Teams from GAL

I have been using the following Powershell command to try to hide a Teams Group from GAL.

 

> Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity 'SMTP' -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true

 

However, after running the code I get the following message.

"WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'xxx' have been modified."

and of course I do not see the changes apply.

 

Am I missing a step?


Thanks for your help,

    Are you actually looking at the GAL though? Outlook works with the Offline Address book by default, which can take up to 48h to reflect the latest changes. Make sure you are selecting the Online GAL from the picker, or better yet, check directly in OWA.

  • That essentially means it's already set. If you do a get-unifiedgroup on that same object with | fl does it show true for that?

      OK I see that it does show true for that setting. However, the GAL still shows the teams group visible.
