UM 4.04sr1, w2003 AD, e2k.
Why does unity sets the "showInAdvancedViewOnly" attribute to TRUE instead of the "msExchHideFromAddressLists" when hidding a subscriber from the Global Address List?
Recent AD forums have reported this as well. In our case, the subscriber needed to be added to a local group and could not be found. Looking via the ADUC, we could see the account but, via the local group GUI it could not be found. After some research, we determined the above settings. The subscriber was configured as follows:
Do not show in phone directory and Show in the e-mail list.
I toggled the show in the e-mail list that changed the "showInAdvancedViewOnly=FALSE" and made the account visible again. I tested this setting. Each time I used Unity to hide the subscriber from the GAL it changed "showInAdvancedViewOnly" attribute to TRUE. Typically, we don't run into this problem since the subscribers that we want hidden are usually generic accounts. However, for some reason this user account was hidden. Which by the way seems to occur often in 4.04sr1 just by making any config changes to a subscriber.
