Gal update schedule

Being a SaaS offering, Office handles tasks such as updating address lists automatically, we as the customer don't have access to Update-AddressList.

The OAB is automatically updated once every 24h and we have no control over the process. Generally speaking, if you have created a new list or updated the recipient filter on an existing one, you need to "tickle" the objects in order for them to appear. This is done by changing any attribute of the object, for example customattributeXX. Tommy Generally speaking there are 2 methods of updating an address list in Exchange Online.

So with this said, if you have an existing Address list and create a new user that matches that address lists filter criterias, it should populate. Or, am i misstaking you and what you actually need assistans with is creating the address list itself? But Offline address book outlook has no recent users , you need to wait up to 24h for it to renew.

Tommy aha now I understand! In Outlook do the following to download the OAB since the last changes. If you have Intune, you can push a script to automatically download the addressbook for all customers.

But its not easy you should be careful not to do any unintended harm. Products 72 Special Topics 41 Video Hub Most Active Hubs Microsoft Teams. Security, Compliance and Identity. Microsoft Edge Insider. Can Alias of any of the following be renamed without causing havoc?

Alias can be changed on already existing objects. The only problem I see with that if some users or software reference the mailbox with the old alias name. I have been able to resolve the problem of space in alias of MailContact from the source, only to discover that Outlook still could not function correctly even though the information are available in GAL. OWA works without any problem. Knowing what the result could be, I applied the following command "Get-GlobalAddressList update-GlobalAdressList" reluctantly and it happened exactly as feared.

Now each MailContact has "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy" enabled and each also has an addition EmaiAddress entry from the Default Policy our DomainName.

Though the External E-mail Address is still set as default. What I also observed is that when a new Mailcontact is created, it automatically added the additional EmailAddress entry from the Default Policy our DomainName. Is this a normal behavior in Exch or there is a way I can avoid this happening in Mailcontacts. When creating those mailcontacts, be sure to set the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled to false.

I do not see any possibility to set the "EmailAddressPolicyEnable" to false while creating the contact through EMC, this is only posssible after the process has been completed but the EmailAddress of our DomainName has already been added.

This can however be deleted manually without any problem. The Mailcontacts which were synchronised from the external source actually have the "EmailAddressPolicyEnable" set to false by default, it is running the "Get-GlobalAddressList update-GlobalAdressList" that set it to true. I get this error message when trying to send mail:. RecepientDisplayName The recipient's e-mail address was not found in the recipient's e-mail system.

Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please check the e-mail address and try resending this message, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator.

In case there is not workaround to avoid the additional EmailAddress, then with which PS command can I run through only the Mailcontact and delete this additional EmailAddres entry. Please have a look at my video on YouTube guiding you through manually updating your Exchange global address list.

The one thing that I read in another article is that you do run these commands, but then you must stop and restart the Exchange File Distribution Service which will be located on your Client Access servers. Then you can force download a new copy from Outlook. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info. Contents Exit focus mode. Is this page helpful?
