How to Change Mailbox Plan of Live@edu Outlook accounts

If you want to hide the user contacats from shared address (global address list) of each user you have to change the mailbox plan from DefaultMailboxPlan to GalDisabledMailboxPlan and these are the steps.

1. open Windows PowerShell from Accessories of windows

   2.  Now we need to connect to Outlook live so run the following commands

      $LiveCred = Get-Credential

      and enter your account for ex: abc@abc.edu.sa and password for login and then run this command

     $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

then run this command

Import-PSSession $Session

 

3. to change bulk of users create a Textfile.txt which contains the users emails account as following:

       a1@abc.edu.sa

       a2@abc.edu.sa

then save it as 01.txt and put it to C:\ driver

4. now run this command

      Get-Content "C:\01.txt" Set-Mailbox -MailboxPlan GalDisabledMailboxPlan

and you will get somethings like this



That's all.

You can also set the default mailbox Plan for future new users by using this command

Set-MailboxPlan GalDisabledMailboxPlan -IsDefault
