Exchange 2010 - Create New GAL

[PaulO99]

We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on a single server and I wish to create a segmented GAL with associated Address Book Policy. However, no matter what combination of Powershell cmdlets I use, when I open the address book in a relevant user Outlook session the GAL only contains the user. The included ABP address list does contain the correctly filtered addresses.

Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I am or what is going wrong.

Many Thanks

Have you assign the new Address Book policy to the user?

 

Whats the powershell command you are using?

Thanks IanT.

I have been persevering with the problem and am finally getting the correct results.

I had created the 4 elements required for an ABP, created the ABP and assigned the ABP to a user but when I connected to Exchange as that user and opened the address book the GAL only contained the user email address.

I don't know if in my various attempts I gave the system the 'proverbial kick' or was initially too impatient or having run the 'new-globaladdresslist' cmdlet failed to then run the 'update-globaladdresslist' cmdlet but I am now able to achieve the result I require.
