How do I find the format on "DisplaySpecifiers", please? If it's what I think 
it is, it is currently Lastname, Firstname, but I've had it set both ways. The 
"displayName" is set to Firstname Lastname, this is what I changed to get the 
displayed name in emails to appear Firstname Lastname 
mailto:em...@company.com>>.

What's the format on the "DisplaySpecifiers" versus the one in the 
"displayName"?

I don't recall seen what you exposed here

I'm not even sure how to ask this exactly, so bear with the rambling...



We've always had names in AD and in the GAL displayed as Last name, First name. 
So, when a email message was sent outside the company, names appeared as Last 
Name, First name mailto:em...@company.com>>. I was asked to 
change that so messages displayed the name as First name Last Name 
mailto:em...@company.com>>. So, that was easy enough, then I 
get the next call... Once I got it displayed as fname lname in messages, it 
switched to fname lname in the GAL, but they still want it to be lname, fname 
in the GAL. Any ideas on how to get the best of both worlds?
