changing the address in Address Book
Hi I having issue with Address Book. Everytime Entering name in Outlook it gives a different name, for example the auto complete will say Jerry Loredo <jloredo6491029> when I typed in Jerry But my correct email address should be jerry.loredo@contoso.com. Eventhough this email add <jloredo6491029> is incorrect i can still received the email sent to it. so I thought it's a local contact issue in Outlook but then I see nothing about that address or details. but when I check the Global Address Book in Outlook, my name is something like this Name: Jerry Loredo Business Phone: <blank> Office: <blank> Title: <blank> Company: <blank> Alias: JerryLoredo Email Type: EX Mail Address: /O=CONTOSO/OU=CONTOSO/cn=Recipient/cn=jloredo6491029 Now my question how can I change or delete this "Mail Address" so I can correct the email address when typing in Outlook? hope you can give me steps to do that. Other steps did: - deleted the nk2 file on profile - it didnt work - deleted the address from auto complete - it didnt work - created a new profile in another machine - same issue other info Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2003 2003 server OS. Thanks in advance jerry

That's your legacyExchangeDN attribute. I wouldn't change it. Have you tried deleting the nickname cache in Outlook (a file with extension .NK2)?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed, I did, but then it's still there after deletion. I've even created a new profile from another machine (which I think dont have any nk2 there) and it's still there once you resolved that name. THanks.

Hi I can see this setting using the ADSIedit.msc. Is it safe that I will change the "Recipient/CN" part to the correct name? Thanks, Jerry

I wouldn't do it. Where do you see it in ADSI Edit, i.e., what attribute?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
