Recently, I have received a lot of user feedback on how to hide a specified column in the outlook address book from the user, such as preventing the user from seeing the e-mail address column in the address book, as shown below:

How can it be realized? I consulted an engineer at Microsoft to solve this problem, and the answer was that the native functionality could not be implemented in the background of exchange.

It can't be realized in the background of exchange, is there any other way? By looking up the information, I finally found a way:

By modifying the registry of the terminal PC, the specific implementation process is as follows:

Open Registry Editor on PC: start-run, enter: regedit

Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Office\ 16.0 Outlook\ Preferences

The above location according to the version of outlook to choose a different version number, my environment is outlook2016, so choose: 16.0

Create a binary key value: ABHiddenColumns

Values are defined based on the attributes you want to hide, as follows:

The values for each attribute in the above figure must be combined with the following numbers:

0# 00 00 00

# represents the number of attributes to be modified. If you only modify: title, then this value is 1. If you want to modify: title and location, then this value is 2.

In this test, we hide the e-mail address column and modify the value to: 01 00 00 00 1f 00 fe 39, as shown below:

When the modification is complete, restart outlook and open the address book. We can see that the email address column is no longer visible.

If we have a large number of users, we can achieve it by issuing the registry under the group policy.

After sharing, I hope it will be helpful to you who have this need.
