Detailed Description
The Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet is mainly used to populate the GAL property pages in the Exchange Management Console. This command doesn't provide a filtering capability. If filtering is required, you should use a WHERE clause with the command.
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 "Global address lists" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
