Re: Different Order in GAL

Hi,

Sure it is possible - create a script that runs thru the users and correct
as desired.

What? Manually? This is a bad Joke! In this case the AD contains 20.000
Users! There must be a way to modify the schema, that the displayname will
bild automatically.

You will need to manually correct the display names.

Thx for your reply, can I do this automatically? If the answer is yes -
how?

How about changing the display names so they are unique? In terms of
helping your users correctly deliver mail, this is a far, far better
solution than "remember which one came first".

You can add a department or a middle initial, or a location, or pretty
much
anything.

Hi Group,

we have a problem with our GAL. On the Outlook-Clients the order for
users
with the same displayname is different from day to day.

Meanwhile we have identified that one GC is completly new staged with
AD
and
GC-Role. Our 2 orignale GC's have the same order in the GAL - only
the new
one differ from the others. As well a new creation of the GC
works...:-(

My question is: How can I correct this issue? Are there tools
avalible to
change the order in the GC?

Thanks for your Help
Frank
