Powershell command to hide user from exchange address lists

Question

I m trying to write powershell script which hides user from exchange lists   I was able to find following command  Set-Mailbox -Identity  user id here  -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled  true  And it doesn t give me an error message  and when I run the command twice  I get following warning      WARNING  The command completed successfully but no settings of   user id here   have been modified    Which probably means that the command did actually work    but when I go to Exchange Management Console  and open user profile   hide user from exchange address lists  check box is off    What could be the reason

You can use the following script  just replace DOMAIN with the name of your domain  When executed it will prompt you for a userlogin then hide that user s account from the address lists    name Read-Host  Enter login name of user to hide  Set-Mailbox -Identity DOMAIN  name -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled  true   Brian

WARNING  The command completed successfully but no settings of   user id here   have been modified    This warning means the setting was already set like what you want it to be  So it didn t change anything for that object

You will have to pass one of the valid Identity values like DN  domain user etc to the Set-Mailbox cmdlet  Currently you are not passing anything
