Hello,

We use office 365.

After removing the "All Rooms" address list from the powershell command line, we have problems with the online version.

Indeed it is impossible to load the contacts from https://outlook.office.com/people/, nothing is displayed, no error message.

Ditto when we click on the recipient field when writing an email. (unable to load your contact lists) On the other hand, autocompletion works on the directory.

On the other hand on the outlook software the address lists are loaded well (without "All Rooms")

We have tried to recreate the "All Rooms" address list but it does not change anything.

Before the powershell removal of "All rooms" everything worked fine.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi @Damien VENAULT

    Do all users not able to view the list in 'contact' page? According to your information above, your issue seems to be related to the GAL. We could consider creating a new GAL in O365, then create and assign a new address book policy which include the new created GAL to a test user to test the result.

    Just like the process introduced in this article: OFFICE365 CREATE GLOBAL ADDRESS LIST

    Hi @Joyce Shen - MSFT

    Thank you for your reply.

    Do all users not able to view the list in 'contact' page?

    Yes all users have the problem.

    Following your message, I created a new GAL with a new policy assigned to users.
    At the moment, I have the same problem. The new global address list does appear on the outlook software but nothing online (same messages)
    I just had the operation, maybe we have to wait a few hours ... ?

    We just had to wait a bit

    Thanks again for the solution ;-)
