How to Edit a Default Global Address List
The default global address list stores every account in an Exchange server. It contains names, email addresses and telephone numbers of all the users. It is an efficient way to locate any user in a big company or organizational account. You can use your email client, such as Outlook, to edit the global address list. You can add, remove and edit individual accounts. You will need administrative rights to make changes to the default global address list.
