Since Exchange 2007 no longer has hidden distribution lists this causes a problem for us. We have several thousand lists that the membership is hidden due to FERPA concerns. But, we still want them displayed in the Outlook Address Book.
A colleague suggested we put the DLs into a single OU. Then on that OU we remove the permissions for Authenticated Users and add permission for our Faculty group. This works by hiding the entry for the distribution lists in the OU from the non-Faculty, but it puts a blank spot in the address book where the entry should be for non-Faculty. If I could somehow tell the GAL not to put the entries for the DLs in the restricted OU into the address book that would be the ideal solution. I could then create a bunch of "front-end" lists that are normal and appear in the address book, but each have a single member consisting of the hidden DL in the restricted OU. So does anyone have an idea of what can be done to tell the GAL to skip an entire OU?

MyFrontEndLists are in the '\All Groups\Distribution Lists' OU.
