Hide disabled active directory users from Microsoft Online Exchange Address lists


Hide disabled active directory users from Microsoft Online Exchange Address lists
 The other day I ran across an issue where disabled active directory users were still showing up in the global address lists.  If you set the msexchhidefromaddresslists attribute to TRUE on the account in local AD, that will replicate to Online Exchange and the user will be hidden from all address lists including the Global Address list.
Open the Active Directory management snap-in, open the view menu and select Advanced Features.
 

Open the properties for the user you want to hide from address lists.
Select the Attribute Editor tab
Scroll and find the attribute msExchHideFromAddressLists
Change value to TRUE
Click OK
The attribute will synchronize to  MSOE system and the user will no longer show up in address lists.
