Microsoft Teams

---

Hi All,

I was wondering is there a way we can look at excluding Microsoft Teams from the address book?

Thanks

@Waqkas-Ahmed,

The question is rather vague. what I mean by that is what is the purpose:

• Is it to exclude exchange users from accessing teams?

• Is it to prevent Teams from accessing the address book?

the best I can do without understanding the context here is to point you to this link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-scoped-directory-search

This will hopefully address what you need.

Was just looking to hide the Teams email groups from the address book as we have a few users who are recently just sending email to the global email and it's getting confusing.

I have however setup the following script;

Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Test Group" -PrimarySmtpAdddress test_team@testglobal.onmicrosoft.com -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true

Is there a way to hide them all, and is there any issues with doing this?

@Waqkas-Ahmed,

To block in Teams...you want to consider the following

• membership of teams

• making teams private rather than public

• stop using org-wide teams

• stop publishing teams info in AD

@Ronnie-Wong Teams are created through Office365 portal. The groups are already set to Private when created. These groups are sysnched with our AD.

Ho would I go about hiding their email address from our Exchange address book?

@Waqkas-Ahmed,

Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity <groupID> -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$true

Should help. But it may not do everything you're wanting it to do.

You can search for Set-UnifiedGroup for more details.
