Take a look at the Address book policies functionality: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/address-books/address-book-policies/create-an-address-book-policy

Do note that ABPs do not prevent user communication, if a user knows the email address of another user, they can still contact them. If you need to restrict that as well, you will need to configure transport rules that block messages sent between different branches.

Hi @Dopod ,

Agreed with Vasil that you can consider implementing separate Address Book policies for each branches. Aside from the link shared above by Vasil, you can also have a look at the blog below for the instructions on how to configure this:

Thanks for answer

I do not need block them to send the message but they can manual insert the email address . I just need them to restricted search cross an address book only.

Then implementing ABPs as mentioned earlier should be enough to meet your requirements : )

Hi @Thongrob Kanjanaluck ,

Please check if you have applied the new created ABP to the selected user for test.
