Hello, When a user sends an e-mail his/her Display Name shows up in the e-mail to the receiver. The Display Name By default is taken from the Display Name of the ADUC when creating a mail account for the user. How can I set the account to show the Simple Display Name there is in Exchange Mailbox user information as although I set it, it is not showing when sending mail. Basically I want to show the Simple Display Name when sending e-mails. Thanks

Assuming you already have the Simple DisplayName populated on the mailbox, you need to enable the use of the simple displayname in each (or selected) remote domain(s).

OK so basically it is useless since 99% of the e-mails we send do not have control on their domain.

They're in YOUR Exchange organization.

No I thought that it can be enabled when sendiing to popular e-mail accounts like Gmail and Hotmail and not only remote domains that I manage

Ok it worked as well thanks all

You probably have just one remote domain in your organization: "*". If that's so then you only have to modify that. If you want to control how other remote domains are handles then you'd create an objec in your organization for them and modify them accordingly. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
