Applies to Exchange Server 2013/2016 – Amir Moiz Gulamaliwala
In an Exchange Multi-Tenant environment, it is mandatory for the Systems Consultants to maintain a separate Exchange Address Lists for every domain hosted within the Exchange Server.
There are many free open source tools available online and paid one as well where you can install and integrate them with you Exchange environment and start using it, but in this article I will explain how to create Exchange Address Lists using PowerShell.
Root Domain – cloud.local
Customer or Entity Domain Name: company.com
Already added in my Exchange Admin Center under Accepted Domains
OU Name: Company
This OU Name can be for an Entity or a Customer hosted in the Exchange Environment.
Note: Considering that all the users are already created in Active Directory.
Open Exchange PowerShell Always Run As Administrator
Run the following scripts one by one.
Global Address List
New-GlobalAddressList -Name “Company-GAL” -ConditionalCustomAttribute1 “Company” -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers -RecipientContainer “cloud.local/Company”
Address List for All Users
New-AddressList -Name “Company–All Users” -RecipientFilter “(CustomAttribute1 -eq ‘Company’) -and (ObjectClass -eq ‘User’)” -RecipientContainer “cloud.local/Company”
Address List for All Contacts
New-AddressList -Name “Company–All Contacts” -RecipientFilter “(CustomAttribute1 -eq ‘Company’) -and (ObjectClass -eq ‘Contact’)” -RecipientContainer “cloud.local/Company”
Address List for All Groups
New-AddressList -Name “Company–All Groups” -RecipientFilter “(CustomAttribute1 -eq ‘Company’) -and (ObjectClass -eq ‘Group’)” -RecipientContainer “cloud.local/Company”
Offline Address Book
New-OfflineAddressBook -Name “Company” -AddressLists “Company–GAL”
Address Book Policy
New-AddressBookPolicy -Name “Company” -AddressLists “Company–All Users”, “Company–All Contacts”, “Company–All Groups” -GlobalAddressList “Company–GAL” -OfflineAddressBook “Company”
All these scripts are tested in Lab and Applied in the Production Environment.

I’m trying to implement your scripts on Exchange 2019 — almost works down to creating the AddressBookPolicy — I get “Supply values for the following Parameters: RoomList” — I did I miss something?
