This article was previously published under Q188643

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Exchange Server it is possible to create Custom Views for the Exchange Server clients to view; however, it is not possible to remove the Global Address List entry from view.

MORE INFORMATION

When you create the Custom Views using Address Book Views and Search permissions, the clients will only be able to view the containers that they have permissions to view (as described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, 182902, "XADM: How To Setup Container Level Search Control"). Although it is not possible to hide the words, "Global Address List," it is possible to alter or limit what the clients see in the Global Address List when they connect to the Exchange Server computer. The Global Address List will contain all recipients listed in the containers in which the user has permissions to view.
