Exchange Powershell Exchange and Powershell Helps, Tips, and Tricks

You may find that you need to get a list of all of the distribution groups in your Exchange Organization that are hidden from the GAL (Global Address List). The following command is a simple powershell command that will accomplish this.

get-distributiongroup | select name, hiddenfromaddresslistsenabled | WHERE {$_.HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -eq $true }

This will give you a two columned list. The first column will contain the name of the distribtuion list, and the second column will contain the value of the HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled field.
