Email Acounts hidden from the Global Address List.

[FoxT2]

Hi,

Anyone know if it is possible to create an email account in MS Exchange 2000/2003 that will not show up in the Global Address List. I need to make some anonymous email accounts for certain users that do not want there email address to show in the Global Address List in MS outlook.

Thanks,

FoxT

In Active Directory User and Computers, go to the properties of the user - Exchange Advanced tab, there is a check box to hide address from Address Lists.

If you don't see the Exchange Advanced tab, go to View - Advanced Features

pgaliardo, I still do not see that option even with the Advanced Features turned on. My Active Directory version is...

Active Directory Users and Computers
Microsoft Corporation
Version: 5.2.3718.0

Any ideas why I cannot see that tab?

Thanks,

FoxT

Do you have ANY exchange tabs? Does the user have an Exchange Mailbox?

Because you haven't installed the Exchange admin tools stuff on the server you are trying to work on. By default ADUC is only updated to include the Exchange tabs on the Exchange Servers themselves.

So either work on an Exchange Server, or install the admin tools on the server or workstation you wish to administer from

I have tried the properties on several users that all have an Exchange Mailbox and still nothing. I see no exchange tabs in Active Directory, however there is a "Microsoft Exchange System Objects" expandable folder listed under our domain name in the left panel.

Oops - sorry I missed that. Strongm is right. Try doing this right from the Exchange Server and see if you have the tabs.
