Former TTU faculty or staff needs to be removed from the global address list (GAL) in TechMail


Symptoms

A former faculty or staff member is still listed in the global address list (GAL) in Outlook.

Cause

The person used to be employed by Texas Tech, but their employment has ended.

Resolution

No action is needed. Automated processes will remove the individual from the GAL.

When a person's affiliation with Texas Tech ends, their eRaider account gets automatically disabled. After a period of time, the account and its associated GAL entry will automatically be deleted from the system. Once the account has been deleted, the person's information will no longer appear in the GAL. The time period differs depending on the person's affiliation.


OUTCOME

Once the account has been deleted, the person's information will no longer appear in the GAL.
