CHiLL Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Hello, I have been trying to create a new Global Address List in Office 365. One for students so that they can only see other students in the address book and keeping the main global address list for staff so they can see everyone. So far I've been banging my head against a brick wall and Microsoft's support has not exactly been useful. Basically, I've managed to obtain a guide from one of Microsoft's support engineers, however it requires editing Custom Attributes (1-15) in each user's mailbox that I want to amend the address list for. (These custom attributes can be found in Office 365 > Admin > Exchange > Recipients > Mailboxes > User1 > Edit > General > More Options. There the custom attributes can be edited.) This would be great, however I cannot edit the Custom Attributes as Office 365 is syncing with our Active Directory, thus the changes must be made in Active Directory and then synced to Office 365. This is where I am stuck. There are no options within the Attribute Editor to amend these Custom Attributes and I cannot find at all where I need to make these changes. I've attached a screenshot of where this appears in Office 365. If someone could help, I would greatly appreciate it as at the moment I want to throttle someone (I'm looking at someone at Microsoft!).

ellsandell Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I think from memory, use the Exchange Setup to extend the Active Directory Schema, which will then give you the custom attributes in the local AD for syncing. If you don't want to do that you can manage the custom attributes via powershell. https://msftedublogger.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/using-and-modifying-exchange-custom-attributes-in-exchange-labs/ Edited May 7, 2015 by ellsandell

Here's a screenshot of our Attribute Editor: [ATTACH=CONFIG]30434[/ATTACH] I think from memory, use the Exchange Setup to extend the Active Directory Schema, which will then give you the custom attributes in the local AD for syncing.

Boredguy Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 GALS can be created based on any AD field you choose that gets synchronised to 365. We use the Department field to define Teaching and Non-Teaching staff in AD, and then created a Teaching Staff Only GAL based on that field. Name : GAL_Staff RecipientFilter : ((Office -eq 'Teaching Staff') -or (Office -eq 'Non-Teaching Staff'))
Boredguy Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Furthermore, this is the guide I used when creating our separate address book, but tweaked the recipient filters to match my current AD fields Alumni Address Book Policy in Office 365 Education - UK Education Cloud Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
Marshall_IT Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 As mentioned above if you run the start of an exchange install one of the first steps is to extend your ad schema which adds these values.
