在O365中使用Powershell批量添加到新地址簿

Question

I have a big list of client email addresses that need to be accessible to all internal employees. i have created a new address list to use using:

New-addresslist –name “TRH MP List”
New-GlobalAddressList –name “TRH MP List”

the list shows up in my address book in Outlook but says i can't edit it (even though i made myself an admin of it.)

I found this but it seems to only be able to add the main GLOBAL address list.

Import-Csv C:\ExternalContacts.csv|%{New-MailContact -Name $_.Name -DisplayName $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.ExternalEmailAddress -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName}

I've been googling but the above is the only thing that ever turns up.

Answer 1

I believe what you are looking for is the ability to hide the newly created external contacts from the Global Address List, but still have them be accessible as members of distribution groups.

If this is the case, here's the steps (referenced from https://community.office365.com/en-us/w/exchange/579 )

Hide a single external contact

 Set-MailContact <external contact> -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true 

For example, to hide Franz Kohl from the shared address book:

 Set-MailContact “Franz Kohl” -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true 

Hide all external contacts

Run the following command to hide all external contacts from the shared address book:

 Get-Contact -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'MailContact')} | Set-MailContact -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true 

After you hide them, external contacts aren't displayed in the shared address book, but you can still add them as members of a distribution group.
