Re: E2k3 OWA - can't view smtp address of messages from hidden users

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We're a university and we have both staff & students on Exchange. There are
privacy laws that prevent us from publishing student info without their
permission (which includes email addresses), so the GAL is opt-in for them.
Most have not bothered to opt-in, so this is a pretty big problem for us.
We've been running with students for about 2 years and have only just
received a complaint, so I assume this is a new bug.

I suspect this is happening because of the way OWA queries the GAL (other
clients use LDAP or MAPI). I'm not sure why it would work from LDAP
clients, though.

Out of curiousity, why do you have users whose accounts are hidden from
the GAL sending to a wide distribution of users?

Users have begun reporting a problem - from OWA they cannot reveal the
smtp address of messages they receive from other Exchange users that have
their accounts hidden from the GAL. They are able to reply to the
messages, but if you try to switch to a cc or bcc it fails. From other
clients (Outlook, POP, IMAP) it works fine - they can see the SMTP
address. Is there a solution to this, it's quite annoying? I suspect
this has happened after the latest patches, but can't be certain.
