MORE INFORMATION

To display hidden multiple users from the Address Book, perform the following steps:
  1. In the Exchange Administrator program menu, on the Tools menu, click Directory Export.

  3. Choose an export filename.
  4. Select the types of objects that you want to unhide.
  5. Check the Include hidden objects check box, and click Export.
  6. When the export is finished, open the filename.csv file in a suitable editor (for example, Microsoft Excel). The exported file will include a column entitled "Hide from AB."
  7. Change the attribute value from 1 to 0 in that column for those entries that you want to make visible, and save the file.
  8. In the Exchange Administrator program menu, on the Tools menu, select Directory Import, and click Import File.
  9. Use the Browse window to select the file that you modified.
  10. Leave the other settings at the default settings.
When the import is done, the hidden recipients will be visible.
