Syntax\r\n2. Description\r\n3. Examples\r\n4. Parameters\r\n5. Inputs\r\n6. Outputs\r\nThis cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings\r\nmight be exclusive to one environment or the other.\r\nUse the Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet to view a global address list (GAL) or a set of GALs.\r\nIn Exchange Online, this cmdlet is available only in the Address Lists role, and by default, the role isn't assigned\r\nto any role groups. To use this cmdlet, you need to add the Address Lists role to a role group (for example, to the\r\nOrganization Management role group). For more information, see Add a role to a role group.\r\nFor information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.\r\nGet-GlobalAddressList\r\n [-DefaultOnly]\r\n [-DomainController \u003cFqdn\u003e]\r\n [\u003cCommonParameters\u003e]\r\nGet-GlobalAddressList\r\n [[-Identity] \u003cGlobalAddressListIdParameter\u003e]\r\n [-DomainController \u003cFqdn\u003e]\r\n [\u003cCommonParameters\u003e]\r\nThe Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet is mainly used to populate the GAL property pages in the Exchange admin\r\ncenter. This command doesn't provide a filtering capability. If filtering is required, you should use a WHERE\r\nclause with the command.\r\nYou need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for\r\nthe cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't included in the permissions assigned to\r\nhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist\r\nPage 1 of 4\n\nyou. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the\r\npermissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.\r\nGet-GlobalAddressList\r\nThis example returns a summary list of all GALs.\r\nGet-GlobalAddressList -Identity GAL_AgencyB | Format-List\r\nThis example returns detailed information about the GAL named GAL_AgencyB.\r\nApplicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server\r\n2019, Exchange Server SE, Exchange Online\r\nThe DefaultOnly switch filters the results so only the default GAL is returned. You don't need to use a value with\r\nthis switch.\r\nType: SwitchParameter\r\nDefault value: None\r\nSupports wildcards: False\r\nDontShow: False\r\nDefaultOnly\r\nPosition: Named\r\nMandatory: True\r\nValue from pipeline: False\r\nValue from pipeline by property name: False\r\nValue from remaining arguments: False\r\nApplicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server\r\n2019, Exchange Server SE\r\nThis parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.\r\nThe DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or\r\nwrite data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For\r\nexample, dc01.contoso.com.\r\nType: Fqdn\r\nhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist\r\nPage 2 of 4\n\nDefault value: None\r\nSupports wildcards: False\r\nDontShow: False\r\n(All)\r\nPosition: Named\r\nMandatory: False\r\nValue from pipeline: False\r\nValue from pipeline by property name: False\r\nValue from remaining arguments: False\r\nApplicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server\r\n2019, Exchange Server SE, Exchange Online\r\nThe Identity parameter specifies the global address list that you want to view. You can use any value that uniquely\r\nidentifies the GAL. For example:\r\nName\r\nDistinguished name (DN)\r\nGUID\r\nCaution: The value $null or a non-existent value for the Identity parameter returns all objects as if you ran the\r\nGet- command without the Identity parameter. Verify any lists of values for the Identity parameter are accurate\r\nand don't contain non-existent $null values.\r\nType: GlobalAddressListIdParameter\r\nDefault value: None\r\nSupports wildcards: False\r\nDontShow: False\r\nIdentity\r\nPosition: 1\r\nMandatory: False\r\nValue from pipeline: True\r\nValue from pipeline by property name: True\r\nValue from remaining arguments: False\r\nhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist\r\nPage 3 of 4\n\nThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -\r\nInformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction,\r\nand -WarningVariable.

If the Input Type field for a\r\ncmdlet is blank, the cmdlet doesn't accept input data.\r\nOutput types\r\nTo see the return types, which are also known as output types, that this cmdlet accepts, see Cmdlet Input and\r\nOutput Types. If the Output Type field is blank, the cmdlet doesn't return data.\r\nSource: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist\r\nhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist\r\nPage 4 of 4", "extraction_quality": 1, "language": "EN", "sources": [ "MITRE" ], "references": [ "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/get-globaladdresslist" ], "report_names": [ "get-globaladdresslist" ], "threat_actors": [], "ts_created_at": 1775439140, "ts_updated_at": 1775791288, "ts_creation_date": 0, "ts_modification_date": 0, "files": { "pdf": "https://archive.orkl.eu/d2d02ae76f640590f791990960bfded1154dd2d3.pdf", "text": "https://archive.orkl.eu/d2d02ae76f640590f791990960bfded1154dd2d3.txt", "img": "https://archive.orkl.eu/d2d02ae76f640590f791990960bfded1154dd2d3.jpg" } }
