Remove Expired Team Groups from the Global Address List

[chazzy2501]

What the correct way to stop the expired Team Groups from appearing in the Global Address List...

 

Also is there away of getting my Sharp MFP a list of the current Team Groups Address list. I thought of doing a secure LDAP via azure but that looked wayyy to tricky. Ideas welcome..

There’s a manual option checkbox under the group admin settings (note group not team)

 

But you can script it etc

If you use SDS, you can login to SDS.microsoft.com and run a cleanup in there... drop me a message if you want more details

Thanks @neonetman I've already run a report / cleanup that is how I expired all the teams. This however hasn't removed them from the GAL.

Login to Azure AD admin, then choose All Services, and Groups - I seem to remember I had to delete expired groups in there as well

This is what I've just done, let see if it works.

 

$Groups = Get-UnifiedGroup -ResultSize Unlimited | ? {$_.Displayname -like "Exp0920_*"}
Foreach ($Group in $Groups) {Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity $Group.Name -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true}
}

 

modified a little to only hide expired, as the display name was altered in the section clean up 0920 being the date.

 

 

EDIT: it worked.

 

current team groups still display and expired have gone from the GAL.

 

p.s. if I delete the team groups in Azure the pupils would loose last years coursework

Thank you for this, I've had expired Teams listed for years and finally got rid of them out of the GAL!
