Hiding a user by checking the "hide from exchange address lists" from exchange management console is not working. The user still shows up in GAL.

When I ran Get-Mailbox -Identity _user_ | FL I got HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled : True

So the check-box is working but the user still shows up. It's been over 3 weeks since hiding the user so it's not a time issue.

This is what I have tried:

  • Using Outlook in online mode
  • Using OWA
  • Regenerating GAL
  • Un-checking then re-checking the "hide" check-box
