The global address list (GAL) is a directory that contains entries for every group, user, and contact within an Exchange organization.

Important

You can't remove the default GAL.

Use the Shell to remove a GAL

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Global address lists" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Note

You can't use the Exchange Management Console (EMC) to remove a GAL.

This example removes the GAL Fourth Coffee from the domain controller ad-server.fourthcoffee.com.

Remove-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Fourth Coffee" -DomainController ad-server.fourthcoffee.com

To confirm that you want to remove the GAL, type Y, and then press ENTER.
