If their account is hiden, then I guess they have left perhaps. In this case their NT account should be disabled and/or deleted. In which case there is no mapping between the account name and thge security ID. Hence they will not be able to access via OWA.

What i meant to say was, is there a way to remove the name in the GAL, but keep the mailbox, if the mailbox is hidden then i cant use OWA, we have external users who only log in via OWA, and i dont want there names in the GAL.. Yardyy

so these are the users that are still active, but you don't want their name to apear in the GAL. right?

If they are active, then hiding their mailbox should still allow them to access mail via OWA. If not active, and you have hidden their mailbox in exchange, and you want them to NOT be able to access their mail via OWA, then disable their NT account.

I tried to hide the mailbox and then access the mail via OWA, i get a message that says "inbox not found", if I unhide the mailbox, OWA works fine...
