RE: email displayed names
What's the format on the DisplaySpecifiers versus the one in the displayName? I don't recall seen what you exposed here ~D~ From: Jeff Jackson [mailto:jeff.jack...@rbza.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 3:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: email displayed names 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 em...@company.commailto:em...@company.com. I was asked to change that so messages displayed the name as First name Last Name em...@company.commailto: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?

RE: email displayed names
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 em...@company.commailto:em...@company.com.
