Exclusion switches do not work

[choffman91]

I have the switches to ExcludeContactsWithoutPhoneNumber and ExcludeSharedMailboxContacts enabled, but contacts that are under both categories still sync

Choffman,

The ExcludeSharedMailboxContacts switch does not sync contacts that don't have a WindowsEmailAddress and a legitimate mailbox. Secondly, the ExcludeContactsWithoutPhoneNumber switch does not sync contacts that don't have a Phone or Mobile phone. Hopefully, this helps clear up any confusion. Could you please include a sanitized log?

Thanks for the quick response.

I am working sanitizing a long, but I can tell you that all of our shared mailboxes are being synced. I will get the sanitized log added soon.

I think I have something wrong with my syntax of running the batch file:

PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass ^
-File "%CD%\EWSContactSync.ps1" ^
-CredentialPath "REDACTED" ^
-FolderName "REDACTED" ^
-IncludeNonUserContacts Enabled ^
-ExcludeSharedMailboxContacts Enabled ^
-MailboxList DIRECTORY ^
-LogPath "REDACTED" ^
-ModernAuth

Try the below instead

PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass ^
-File "%CD%\EWSContactSync.ps1" ^
-CredentialPath "REDACTED" ^
-FolderName "REDACTED" ^
-IncludeNonUserContacts ^
-ExcludeSharedMailboxContacts ^
-MailboxList DIRECTORY ^
-LogPath "REDACTED" ^
-ModernAuth

Well that one ran at least, but it all of the shared contacts and regular users.

After reviewing the code again, can you please try to set HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled to true for the mailboxes you want to hide from the script/GAL? Let me know if this solution works for you.
