Hide Disabled accounts from Exchange GAL

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I have made up the following script to do the above. It finds the users i want to perform the action on but itsnt hiding the users from the GAL.

 

Any ideas please?

 

Thanks

 

# Query Options #
$searchRoot = "school.local/School Users/school/Students" # Where to begin your recursive search - If you use top-level (e.g. "domain.local/") make sure to have a trailing slash, otherwise do not use a slash (e.g. "domain.local/Users")
$inactiveDays = 80 # Integer for number of days of inactivity (e.q. 90)

Has it set the attribute on the mailbox? Is it a case of waiting fir OAB to be update on clinets?

It hasn't set the attribute no.

It hasn't set the attribute no.

 

Is the samaccountname and alias the same?
