Exchange Display Names
Hopefully this is a very easy one for you gurus out there. I want to modify all Active Directory user names to be <last name>, <first name>, but when I do this, it also displays the auto complete names in Outlook (Exchange) this way. Our users want to start typing the first name in Outlook to find other users internally. Can I set AD the way I want, but have it display the other way in Exchange? Thanks! Chuck

chuckalucka, I would suggest you can give a try for ADmodify. With this you can do what ever you want related to AD and Exchange on one shot. But before playing with ADmodify just test in testing environment first. Details, please see: Making bulk changes to Active Directory users with ADModify.NET http://www.activedir.org/Articles/tabid/54/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/45/Default.aspx
