Problems with address book

[smary]

I'm new to using MS outlook. I usually work on *nix servers but this time I am working with Active Directory and facing some problems.

I want to see only the people whose account are active in my address book. Currently I see all the people's e-mail addresses when I click on 'To' button. Many of those accounts are disabled, but sitll I see there addresses. Also if I want to send e-mail to everyone, it also sends mails to those people whose accounts are disabled and ultimately creates a lot of confusion. Is there a way that I can see people whose accounts are currently active, and not other people.

Thank you.

There's nothing you can do at the Outlook end to filter disabled accounts
from your view of the global address list, but it can be done in Active
Directory. Someone with access to Active Directory will need to go into
properties for each of the disabled accounts, click the Exchange Advanced
tab and check the 'Hide this account from global address list' checkbox.

Thank you for the feedback peter.

Okay, when I go to Users properties and 'Exchange Advance', I see a checkbox called 'Hide form Exchange adderess list' so I click it but no luck I still see those accounts in Outlook Address book.

Am I missing something or anything else I can do to fix it ?
