  Admin.exe program with the /raw command line option.

Server computer's recipients container where the above procedure was performed.
This hides the Microsoft Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector in the Global Address

If you do not want the Microsoft Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector visible to users
in the Global Address List, it may be necessary to perform this procedure on
other Exchange Server computers in the site or organization.
