Thanks Tom, I actually came to that conclusion in the interim, but with no success. Now if would be so kind, can you give me a brief overview of the permissions process, and what needs to be there at a bare minimum, in order for a regular authenticated user to see the Global Address List? This is the final step in my task, and we are sooo close to being done.
I looked at the "Default Global Address List" - and I cloned all the permissions, onto the new one I created. And in Outlook, it simply does not show up. Are there some additional steps that I need to perform, in order to make this thing show up?

Right-click the original GAL, take away permissions. Make sure you leave permissions for yourself & any other admins. Lots of people lose access to the GAL and then ask "I denied everyone perms to my GAL, how do I do that?" And then people tease you and call you names. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Friday, December 20, 2002 9:22 AM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Help with creating a GAL Subject: Re: Help with creating a GAL Hello Tom and Everyone else, I forgot to ask one more question in my previous post. After I create the new GAL with the new attributes, how can I go about replacing the Default One (that they don't allow you to delete) with the one I just created - so on the Outlook Clients, when they click the Global Address List, my new comes up instead of the original one.

Groups are calculated entities, and they don't work quite the way that you'd hope. Or that I'd hope. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304516 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304516 Better is to use a non-calculated attribute, like one of the ExtensionAttributes. Here's a quick & dirty way using LDIFDE to populate the ExtensionAttribute1. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q237677 If you're running Enterprise, I like to throw people into different mailbox stores & use that too. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Thursday, December 19, 2002 6:49 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Help with creating a GAL Subject: Help with creating a GAL Hello, I admit, I am very new to modifying GALs - but it's an important skill to master, and I have to get this working. Since the Default Global Address List is grabbing everything from Active Directory that has an Exchange Address attached to it (which is not a desired thing), I want to create a more controlled version of the GAL - containing only entries that I dictate. What I *thought* would be the easiest thing - is to create a Group (lets call it "ABC Group") containing only the recipients that I want. So I created ABC Group, and then I added all the Users and Contacts from Active Directory. So now we have a new Universal Distribution Group called "ABC Group" populated with 33 names that I selected from Active Directory. I then went to the Exchange Server, and using Exchange System Manager, I created another Global Address List under the "All Global Address Lists" Tree Item. I called it "ABC Global". Then under Properties, I immediately went to the Advanced Tab since I know precisely the criteria I am interested in querying against. I created, Field: "User -> Group Membership" Condition: "Is (exactly)" Value: "ABC Group" And after doing this, hitting the 'Find Now' button, brings back no results. I checked my typing for accuracy, among several other things. Is there something I am missing? Is there a better way to tackle this task, versus the way I am doing it? Thanks in advance for any information offered on this subject.
