The way that I work with hidden groups is as follows. 1. Create group - but no members. 2. Once it has appeared in the GAL (or the OAB - do a manual update if required), go to each of the users who need to use this list. In their Outlook find the list in the GAL. 3. Right click on the list and choose "Add to Contacts". 4. Hide the list from the GAL. 5. Add the recipients to the list.
Those that need to use the list can do so by selecting the list from their own Outlook Contacts. Any changes made are reflected in the list as seen in the AD, and in Outlook.

Now on 2003 I've finally figured out how to hide group membership, but it means the list managers can not see it either, even though I explicitly also gave them read and write access. Have I missed something?
