New-AddressBookPolicy
This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.
Use the New-AddressBookPolicy cmdlet to create an address book policy. Address book policies define the global address list (GAL), offline address book (OAB), room list, and address lists that will be displayed to mailbox users who are assigned the policy.
In Exchange Online, this cmdlet is available only in the Address Lists role, and by default, the role isn't assigned to any role groups. To use this cmdlet, you need to add the Address Lists role to a role group (for example, to the Organization Management role group). For more information, see Add a role to a role group.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
New-AddressBookPolicy -Name "All Fabrikam ABP" -AddressLists "\All Fabrikam","\All Fabrikam Mailboxes","\All Fabrikam DLs","\All Fabrikam Contacts" -RoomList "\All Fabrikam-Rooms" -OfflineAddressBook "\Fabrikam-All-OAB" -GlobalAddressList "\All Fabrikam"This example creates an address book policy with the following settings:
- Name: All Fabrikam ABP
- Included address lists: All Fabrikam, All Fabrikam Mailboxes, All Fabrikam DLs, All Fabrikam Contacts
- Included room list: All Fabrikam-Rooms
- Included OAB: Fabrikam-All-OAB
- Included GAL: All Fabrikam
Parameters
-AddressLists
The AddressLists parameter specifies the address lists that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. This parameter accepts multiple values, which should be separated by a comma. For example, "\Mr. Munson's Class","Mrs. McKay's Class","Mrs. Count's Class".
| Type: | AddressListIdParameter[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-DomainController
This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.
The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.
| Type: | Fqdn |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-GlobalAddressList
The GlobalAddressList parameter specifies the identity of the GAL that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. You can specify only one GAL for each address book policy.
| Type: | GlobalAddressListIdParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-Name
The Name parameter specifies the name of the address book policy.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-OfflineAddressBook
The OfflineAddressBook parameter specifies the identity of the OAB that will be used by mailbox users who are assigned this address book policy. You can specify only one OAB for each address book policy.
| Type: | OfflineAddressBookIdParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-RoomList
The RoomList parameter specifies an address list that used for location experiences for mailbox users who have this address book policy assigned to them.
- When using location experiences (for example, Room Finder or selecting a conference room when scheduling a meeting), users see only resources that match the RecipientFilter results from the address list that's specified by this parameter.
- When using experiences that aren't location specific (for example, the To or Cc fields of a calendar event), the address lists specified by the AddressLists parameter in this address book policy are applied. The address list specified by this parameter isn't used.
A valid value for this parameter is one address list. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the address list. For example:
- Name
- Distinguished name (DN)
- GUID
Note
There's no automatic association between this parameter and room list distribution groups, which also use a parameter named RoomList in the New-DistributionGroup and Set-DistributionGroup cmdlets. You still need to create room list distribution groups and assign resources as group members. Location experiences are filtered to show only rooms included in the address list that's specified by the RoomList property of the address book policy that's assigned to the user (if any).
| Type: | AddressListIdParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online |
-WhatIf
The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
