outlook auto-complete and global address list issue with displ
in [Microsoft Exchange]

From: Don Pedro on 17 May 2010 07:19 Hi thanks for your help so far. The issue is not the random numbers in the directory names. They have always been there and since we have over 7000 mailboxes, we won't be cleaning them up any time soon. My original problem, which I still need help with, is why are names coming up in autocomplete such as Bloggs, Joe <Joe.Bloggs00120540>. This is happening for many users on Outlook 2003. We have tried on sample machines deleting the .nk2 file but the problem still occurs regardless. I thought outlook autocomplete would use the alias or display name and not the directory name. Or am I completely wrong? "Peter Durkee" wrote: > Random numbers in the directory name like that indicate that there was a > duplicate name during the account creation process.
