Andrey, Have you solved this problem yet? I am curious as to what was wrong. If not, while not a programming whiz kid, could I offer the following insight from a fresh pair of eyes?
1. "...log in as a user from custABC.com and look at the GAL, I see custABC.com users with blank lines in between them." While I understand that you said permissions were correct, it sounds like the blank lines would be custXYZ.com users that custABC.com users didn't have the permission to view. Are the blank lines in a perfect pattern of every other line? 2. "Basically this query says: show all users with mailboxes whose UPN ends with custABC.com OR whose UPN ends with custXYZ.com AND show all mail-enabled groups whose name ends with custABC.com OR whose name ends with custXYZ.com." Shouldn't your logic be, (show all users with mailboxes whose UPN ends with custABC.com AND whose UPN ends with custXYZ.com) AND (show all mail-enabled groups whose name ends with custABC.com AND whose name ends with custXYZ.com)?

There is no problem if I create separate GALs for each respective customer domain (as we have already done for hundreds of customers). Groups are the same kind of groups. However the issue is not with the groups.

And do your custABC.com clients have rights to view your custXYZ groups/users? -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 4:11 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Outlook shows blank lines in custom-filtered GAL Subject: Outlook shows blank lines in custom-filtered GAL Hello I have a strange issue with a custom-filtered GAL. Basically I have two customer domains that would like to have a combined global address list. So I have created a custom filter using this query: (&(&(mailnickname=*) (|(&(objectCategory=user)(|(userPrincipalName=*@custABC.com)(userPrincip alNa me=*@custXYZ.com)))(&(objectCategory=group)(|(cn=*@custABC.com)(cn=*@cus tXYZ .com)))))) Basically this query says: show all users with mailboxes whose UPN ends with custABC.com OR whose UPN ends with custXYZ.com AND show all mail-enabled groups whose name ends with custABC.com OR whose name ends with custXYZ.com. When I click on the Preview, everything looks very good. However when I run Outlook and log in as a user from custABC.com and look at the GAL, I see custABC.com users with blank lines in between them. If I log in as a user from custXYZ.com and look at the GAL, I see everyone as expected. It seems that somehow Outlook is not able to read the custom filter query. Any ideas? Thanks!
