Somehow in our Exchange 2007 environment (upgraded from Exchange 2003), we ended up with a Global Address List that is not actually a Default Global Address List (even though the CN is as such).
Our reason for believing this is the case is that the OAB will not let us check the box that says to add the Default Global Address List to the OAB (it states it does not exist) AND the Exchange Management Shell allowed us to remove the "Default" GAL when Microsoft's documentation explicitly states that the Default GAL cannot be removed.
So, we created a new GAL and of course it appears the same as our previous - not a Default - even though it is our only GAL. We looked at it in ADSIEdit and my guess is there is a parameter on the container object that would allow us to mark that it is indeed the Default GAL, but I cannot find any documentation on what that attribute should be.
Any help that anyone can provide on what that attribute is OR how to create a new Default GAL would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
