Use the New-AddressBookPolicy cmdlet to create an address book policy. Address book policies allow you to define the global address list (GAL), offline address book (OAB), room list, and address lists that will be displayed to mailbox users who are assigned the policy.

Syntax


`New-AddressBookPolicy -Name <String> -AddressLists <AddressListIdParameter[]> -GlobalAddressList <GlobalAddressListIdParameter> -OfflineAddressBook <OfflineAddressBookIdParameter> -RoomList <AddressListIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Detailed Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the “Address book policies" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the name of the address book policy.
AddressLists	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AddressListIdParameter[]	The AddressLists parameter specifies the address lists that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. This parameter accepts multiple values, which should be separated by a comma. For example, `"\Mrs. Munger's Class","Mr. McKay's Class","Mrs. Crabapple's Class"`.
GlobalAddressList	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GlobalAddressListIdParameter	The GlobalAddressList parameter specifies the identity of the GAL that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. You can specify only one GAL for each address book policy.
OfflineAddressBook	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OfflineAddressBookIdParameter	The OfflineAddressBook parameter specifies the identity of the OAB that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. You can specify only one OAB for each address book policy.
RoomList	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AddressListIdParameter	The RoomList parameter specifies the room address list that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. You can specify only one room list for each address book policy.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax `-Confirm:$False`. You must include a colon ( `:` ) in the syntax.
