Assuming that you're replying to me; I just tried this with two people whose names I know to conflict.
I created a new message. I typed "smith" in the To: field I pressed Ctrl-K. Outlook popped up a dialog box, and among the choices listed were Office, phone, title, company and alias. Hopefully one of those can be used to identify the correct person. If the users try using the "To." button when composing an email, they can also look at the properties of a GAL entry. I prefer user education instead of kludging the department names to the last name. What if "John Smith_Marketing" joins the IS department? Also, unique aliases can help. The first John Smith hired gets to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] The more recently hired one gets to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where x is his middle initial). > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 4:19 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Issue with custom recipient > > > Right i got that far but how will it tell apart if you have two same > dispaly names.
