XADM: Deleted PAB Entries Remain in PDLs

ID: Q168092

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you delete an address from your Personal Address Book (PAB) and that address was a member of a personal distribution list (PDL), the deleted address remains in the PDL.

STATUS

This is by product design; it is intended to give the ability to have a personal entry in a PDL without having the entry in the PAB.

MORE INFORMATION

You may want someone with the friendly (display) name of Jack Frost to be included in your PDL, but not to be listed in your PAB. This would be useful when performing Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR) against the Global Address List (GAL) if there was another Jack Frost in the GAL. This way, the Jack Frost in your PAB is not accidentally matched when you Check Names.
