Hi,

I wanna add  "Employee ID " option in outlook 2010 contact card . Although i followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981022 to achieve the same.. Even though Empolyee id option is reflecting in contact card but it doesn't have any information. I have checked the MAPI value and it is set fine. Don't know what went wrong.

thanks

This could happen if there are issues with the OAB or if it hasn't been updated yet.

If you disable Cached Exchange Mode, does it show correctly then?

It hasn't have OAB issue.. Reason i have done a testing and got a result as follows:-

I have changed MAPI Value ..i used "Department" mapi value in registry and in AD put empolyee id number in Department tab. Then i checked the outlook.. and voila It is showing me Employee number which is actually fetching information from "Department" tab of AD. So now one thing is clear my registry setting is fine for employee id but it is not pulling info from AD attributes. Thats i need to look into .

Thanks

$attributes = (Get-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book").ConfiguredAttributes 
$attributes.Add("EmployeeNumber,value") 
Set-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book" -ConfiguredAttributes $attributes
Update-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book"

(Get-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book").ConfiguredAttributes  

I don't think EmployeeID can be configured as an OAB property but you can use EmployeeNumber instead. To add it to the OAB use the following Exchange PowerShell commands;

$attributes = (Get-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book").ConfiguredAttributes 

$attributes.Add("EmployeeNumber,value") 

Set-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book" -ConfiguredAttributes $attributes

Update-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book"

You can see which attributes are currently configured by typing;

(Get-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address Book").ConfiguredAttributes  

i was able to run first one but how to proceed second one ($attributes.Add("EmployeeNumber,value")

I have tried this as well. But unable to fetch employee id info from Employee id attributes.

Thanks
