I got the DN. THank you very much.
I went to the Default GAL and Modify is greyed out.
How do I modify the default GAL filter?

Thanks

Sure.

1) Fire up ADSIEdit.msc (need to have Windows server Support Tools
installed) and navigate to CN=Configuration -> CN=Services ->
CN=Microsoft
Exchange -> CN=Your OrgName -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Your
AdminGroup Name -> CN=Servers ->CN=your ServerName -> CN=Information
Store -> CN=YourStorageGroup -> CN=YourStore. Go to properties and get
the
distinguishedName.

Looks like all the above steps in reverse order - e.g.
CN=Mail14Resources, CN=YourStorageGroupName, CN=Information Store,
CN=PBMail14,CN=Servers,CN=YourAdminGroup.........

2) Or you can download the following script and get a list of all your
Stores and their related info (distinguishedName, legacyExchangeDN, GUID,
etc.)

SCRIPT: Get Store GUIDs
http://www.exchangepedia.com/blog/2006/03/script-get-store-guids.html

3) From command prompt, type: csvde -f filename.txt -d
"CN=Configuration,DC=yourdomain,DC=com" -r
"(objectClass=msExchPrivateMDB)" -l name

*DC=yourdomain,DC=com is to be replaced with your domain name and
extension
(com/net/edu etc.)

I'd like to use your first suggestion.
The store is on Server: PBMail14, Store: Mail14Resources
How would I get the DN of the store? Could you give me an example of
the
value?

Thank you for your help
Ron

Hide from default GAL by modifying the filter to add the following:
(!homeMDB=distinguishedName of mailbox Store where resource mailboxes
are
located)

Alternatively, you can use the same AD attribute(s) that you used to
make
them show up in your resource Address List, but with a NOT operator.
As
the
above example shows, that's the exclamation character (!). E.g.
(!yourAttribute=yourValue) or (!yourAttribute=*)

We have a fairly large exchange organization. 14 Exchange 2003
servers,
30000 mailboxes. All centralized.

I created a info store specifically for resources. Conference
Rooms,
Projectors, Laptops, etc... We are expecting to create several
hundred
resources for people to schedule.

I really don't want them showing up in the GAL. It'll create some
confusion
and not be very user friendly. I created new address lists that
filter
based
on an AD attribute. (I use company: could be- admin, middle, el,
high,
other) (yes we are a school district)

My vision is that when someone wants to schedule a conference room,
they
open the address book and change the list to the appropriate
resource
list
then find the room.

How can I hide the resources from the default GAL but allow the
other
lists
to see them?
Thanks
Ron
