    You are correct. I have already done KB 250455. Now every time a new user
    account is added it correctly fills in the Display field. What I am talking
    about is found under the Exchange General tab on the Properties of a user
    object. The field is ALIAS and by default logon name is used but we would
    like to change to last name, first name (%<sn>, %<givenName>)
