Microsoft Exchange Global Address List (GAL)
The Microsoft Exchange Global Address List (GAL) is a list of all end users and their respective
email addresses within an Exchange Server organization
that uses Microsoft
Outlook for email.
A global address list allows both administrators and users to find fellow employees' email
addresses and send them messages. Additionally, users and administrators can use theExchange
organization's GAL to create and edit distribution
lists.
